Rejected petition Should Cannabis be legalised for medicinal use?

More details

- Should cannabis be use to treat people's painful symptoms.------------ why are people so harshly prosecuted for being in possesion of the class B drug if it is helping them to ease their pain.------------------ I think it should be put under similair restrictions as alcohol and tobacco.---------------------- No scientific proof stating that it is more dangerous than horse riding.------------------------ Patients should be given a signed prescription from a GP or doctor in order to recieve the drug at a chemist.------------------ Should be used in vaporisor form, to avoid any harmful fumes, this is the cleanest way to take the drug.--------------------- just because i think it should be legalised does not mean i am promoting the use of it illegally
