Rejected petition Legalise cannabis for recreational and medical use.

Legalise cannabis for recreational use as it has many benefits as stated in description.

More details

The UK should legalize cannabis for recreational use because it offers a pragmatic approach to public health, economic growth, and social justice. Current policies that criminalize cannabis use have proven ineffective, costly, and disproportionately harmful to certain communities. By legalizing cannabis, the UK could create a regulated, controlled environment that benefits individuals, society, and the economy as a whole.
