Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Make the production, sale and consumption of cannabis legal in the UK
Since cannabis was legalised in California and other countries, local economies have benefited from legalised marijuana dispensaries, which can help boost the economy and create new jobs. Legalisation can also eradicate the stigma that has surrounded marijuana for years.
More details
Research has shown potential medical benefits to people with medical conditions such as anxiety, chronic pain, ptsd, etc. Legalisation, with clear rules on distribution, similar to America, could create new jobs and stimulate the economy. It would also stop people being sent to prison for marijuana use or possession, which should save the police, courts and prison system thousands of pounds.
