What the petition asks
There is a petition circulating social media stating cannabis should be legal. Cannabis is a harmful drug. It's not a recreational substance that should be classed as "legal" as doing this will only make it more accessible to vulnerable young people and consequently cause more damage to our society.
Why it was rejected
It was created under a fake or incomplete name.
