Petition Legalisation of Medical and Medicinal cannabis, in the United Kindom.

Report by Adam Smith Institute says UK’s drug strategy ‘has failed in its core aims’ and urges government to legalise cannabis

Current cannabis policy in Britain is a “messy patchwork” of legislation intermittently enforced by regional police and an embarrassment, says the report by the free-market thinktank the Adam Smith Institute.
