Closed petition Legalise Cannabis in Order to Reduce Crime
Closed on
The Government should legalise Cannabis in order to reduce crime and further, take drug dealers off the streets.
It has also been pointed out that Cannabis helps to open up the mind which is why many argue that it should also be legalised for medical purposes.
Evidence shows that Cannabis is less harmful than the long term effects of alcohol and tobacco.
