Rejected petition Legalise Cannabis recreationally for sale and consumption

We urge the UK government to legalise cannabis by 2025 for medicinal and recreational use (ages 18+), including cultivation, production, and sale under a robust regulatory framework.

More details

Legalization will ensure safe, high-quality products, generate significant tax revenue, reduce illegal trade, and provide medical relief for patients. Unlike decriminalization, regulated legalization guarantees consumer safety, supports economic growth, and promotes social unity. Act now to create a safer, healthier, and more prosperous UK.
