Petition Reschedule Cannabis as a Class C Drug

Recently, the government responded to the petition: "Make cannabis legal for recreational use for ages 21+" by Drej Make. In this response, the government cited various documents from the ACMD. In their citations, I believe the government cherry-picked information to support their stance.

As seen in the document above, the conclusions drawn from the report were that "cannabis should remain a class C substance". However, following its publication, the government (at the time) went against the advice of the ACMD and rescheduled cannabis to class B. I am simply advocating that the current government follow the advice as given and revert cannabis to being a class C substance.
