Regulate medicinal cannabis for the benefit of thousands of patients.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Thousands of patients across the UK suffering a number of conditions are criminalised for using a drug that they feel improves their quality of life. How is it acceptable for a person to consume morphine based drugs but be regarded with stigma if they found cannabis of beneficial medical value?
