Rejected petition Legalize recreational cannabis.

Decriminalize cannabis and reduce length of sentences for those previously prosecuted.

More details

Cannabis use is so profound in the UK as it is. However this cannabis is not regulated and potentially a safety hazard to its users. Legalizing cannabis would help keep such a highly used drug regulated and ensure safe conditions for those smoking it. The tax income taken from selling Cannabis would be substantial. An example of what this money could go towards is funding the NHS.
