What the petition asks
Cannabis in its most natural form contains medical ability's far more effective than most medical treatments.This debate is one that needs to continue to hit the doorstep of Westminster and each time it is over looked and dismissed. People should be granted the right to the treatments they need
Medical marijuana and oils are used and have been proven time and again to cure cancer and others terminal illnesses.Several studies concluded the positive effects of cannabis,yet it is overlooked.Prohibition has failed and is continuing at a staggering cost to Mr. and Mrs. tax payer to fail.With the proper attitude and approach , cannabis can work for our health service and our national pocket.
