Rejected petition UK to enact laws to legalize medical marijuana/cannabis oil.

More details

UK to enact laws to legalize medical marijuana/cannabis oil.
With recent medical and health developments in the USA and Israel (amongst other countries) which have seen the succesful implementation and use of marijuana and cannabis oil to treat cancer patients, I would like to push for the legalized use of it - for medical and health purposes (not just for cancer) - in the UK.
At the moment not only are loved ones suffering and dying, current legislation makes criminals out of those who want to get the necessary treatment. This literally adds insult to injury.
