This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Rejected petition Legalise cannabis for medical and social use.

The Uk’s Drug policy for cannabis is wrong and Hypocritical, because they have issued GW Pharmaceuticals a licence to grow medical cannabis and now the UK is the largest exporter of cannabis in the world, but at the same time it is illegal for the population to use a health giving herb. Hypocrisy.

More details

Gw pharmaceuticals or British sugar who’s CEO is married to a health minister have been growing in the Uk since 2010 and last year doubled the total yield to 95 tons for export.
They also produce a drug called satevex and sell for £125 per gram to the NHS yet the government says that it has no health given benefits. Well if there is no health benefits how can you charge the NHS (uk gov owned) so much for it and why use a herb that doesn’t have any benefits? Legalise it now
