Rejected petition Make Cannabis legal for recreational as well as medical use

Cannabis should be legalised for both medical and recreational use because it's significantly safer than alcohol. Legalization would offer a healthier alternative, reduce harm, and align with public health goals. It's time to reform outdated laws for a safer, healthier society.
