Petition Legalise the pharmaceutical production of THC for medicinal purposes.

Across the world THC has been proven to benefit a massive range of medical issues, from Anxiety disorders to Parkinson's disease. It is a neuropathic relaxant and can give those in need more control therefore enhancing their wellbeing, independence and reduces the use of other treatments.

More details

The argument against this is the fear of drug abuse - which is already unregulated and rife. Unlike alcohol and tobacco; there is no evidence of overdose, violence or suicide under the influence of THC. It's neuropathic relaxants enhance endorphins.
In legalising the pharmaceutical production, companies can create a medicated and prescribable form of THC which can be monitored and managed by clinicians.
Presently, there are no controls and those in medical need suffer in desperation.
