Rejected petition Legalization of Cannabis

More details

I recognize that current approaches to cannabis do not work. i want to promote an evidence-based approach to cannabis law reform and treat cannabis use as a health issue instead of a criminal issue.

i believe that the legalization of cannabis will lower the rate of illness and crimes as if we give these drug users a safe clean place for them to do what they want then they will feel more safer and not have to resort in crimes

i also think that legalizing cannabis and allow the sale in shops will cut out the dealing of drug from un-licensed people will also stop people getting attack/jumped for taking drugs
