Rejected petition Legalise cannabis for recreational use

Legalise cannabis for recreational use.

More details

I want this to happen due to the the profits the country as a whole would see from this. Furthermore being the largest medical cannabis distributor in the world it’s hypocritical for the U.K. not to have it legal. Also this would reduce prisons intake and put the police force to better use for more serious offences
