Rejected petition Make the production, sale and use of cannabis legal.

Make the production, sale & consumption of cannabis legal in the UK.

More details

In the last public petition to make cannabis legal, it was said that & I quote “Substantial scientific evidence shows cannabis is a harmful drug that can damage human health” however so does alcohol. It is said that over 2,000 people die from alcohol poisoning each year however less than 50 people died from cannabis misuse last year. The legalisation of cannabis in certain states in the Us has proven to help muscle & joint pain/stiffness, anxiety (as it boosts serotonin & much more.
