Rejected petition Make marijuana available for medicinal and recreational use for above 18s

Well i would like to have marijuana legalized in the uk because it is pretty much harmless to over 18s and in the uk we have alchohol legalized to above 18s and alchohol death statistics are so very high compared to anything else including marijuana. Another good point is it is a plant nature intent

More details

Alchohol statistics:
.2016 there were 7,327 alcohol-specific deaths in the UK, an age-standardised rate of 11.7 deaths per 100,000 population
.In England, and for both sexes, alcohol-specific death rates in 2016 were significantly higher in the most deprived local areas when compared with the least deprived local areas.
Marijuana statistics:
For the past two years there has only been 53 deaths which is miniscule compared to alchohol
