Rejected petition Legalise the sale, production and consumption of cannabis in the UK.

The country is wrongly criminalising thousands of people each year for consuming cannabis.
Cannabis is a plant, although yes it is a drug it is a plant. Look at tobacco, it is grown and harvested similar to cannabis, it is more harmful but is not made illegal, yet cannabis does less damage.
