This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Rejected petition Give society the right to their own body.

Why should anything I choose to put into my body be illegal? Smoking cigarettes is my choice, as well as consuming alcohol - they both are bad for health however my body = my choice. CANNABIS has never killed anyone, we should all be free to make our own choices. We demand Freedom to our own bodies!

More details

Why should anyone ask permission to consume a plant? Are we not free? Doesn't your body belong to you? How can anyone else make choices for us?! A plant that has many healing benefits such as cannabis should not be illegal, nor should we need permission to peacefully consume it.
