Closed Change Cannabis, Cannabinol & Cannabinol derivatives to Class C

Closed on

Removal of Class B of all related cannabis products & substances to help save police time & to aid those with medical conditions through pain relief.

Changing cannabis to Class C could save up to 199,000 hours of police time, this was shown in a 2005 study when it was originally set out as Class C but reversed back to Class B.

The medical properties of Cannabis and it's related derivatives have shown evidence of helping reduce inflammation, infection, cancer, seizures, pain & mental health. To continue with its current position of Class B would mean millions of British citizens missing the benefits of Cannabis and wasting valuable police time.
