Rejected petition Legalise adult recreational cannabis here in the United Kingdom

Take steps towards legalising adult recreational cannabis use

More details

Legalising cannabis for adult use reduces crime, ensures product quality, and generates tax revenue to fund public services. It helps shift resources from enforcing prohibition to addressing serious crimes, supports new jobs in a regulated market, and promotes informed, safer consumption. This move aligns the UK with effective international models and respects individual choice while strengthening public health protections
