Rejected petition Legalise cannabis to reduce violent crime and make cannabis safe for UK users.

legalise recreational cannabis as done in American states
REASONS...
1.reduce unnecessary violence and crime (e.g human trafficking)
2.to make it safer for the UK users of cannabis 29.6% of population 19.7 million people
3.use the TAX money for the NHS and mental health (which is much needed!)

More details

this is important because no matter the legality of cannabis people will still do it; putting money into criminals hands, thus funding human trafficking and violence. it not being regulated can lead to unsafe strands being created and sold, purely for financial benefit, which harms many people. Instead, legalising it will not increase the use but rather increase the level of safety in the current use. whlist producing tax for NHS.
