Rejected petition Legalize marijuana for medical use and recreational use for 18+

Make it legal for cannabis to be used recreationaly for people 18+, as well as for it to be used more extensively in medical treatment and research

More details

Legalizing cannabis for recreational use will create a large economy flow for the country, through the txation, need for vendor licensing, and supply sources. It could also have the potential to save so many lives if it is availible for medical treatment and research, as there are cases of it treating certain types of cancer. It will also cause a drop in crime rate as it eill kill the market for dealers as there will be a safer and legal way to obtain it, so will therefore force dealers to stop.
