Rejected petition Legalisation of recreational use of Cannabis

We want the Government and Parliament to reconsider the law on cannabis, as we have a thriving medical scene, I hope the United Kingdom can follow Germany in their recent legalisation.

More details

We as the UK cannabis community need our herb legalised as the prescriptions are still not on the NHS and readily available, you people in power need to recognise how cannabis helps people, there should no longer be a bad light shown on cannabis. I mean for God's sake Elizabeth I made it mandatory to grow hemp, why is it now illegal.
