Rejected petition Decriminalize the use and cultivation of cannabis in it's raw form.

I, Conor Birkett, am asking the UK Government to recognize the medical benefits of cannabis in it's raw form and to decriminalize the use of cannabis in it's raw form for UK citizens over the age of 18 and to decriminalize the use of cannabis products with a safe THC to CBD ratio to children.

More details

Here is research and evidence that shows the medical benefits of cannabis and its by-products:
