What the petition asks

Monopoly. Prices far above what is reasonable/allocates inefficiency/decline in consumer welfare.No incentive to offer good quality service. Exploits monopsony buying power. Uses dominant market position to squeeze profit margins/price gouging.Does not promote/encourage competition. It's wrong.

Let people grow their own cannabis for personal use, as there is limited access to GW Pharma's products to patients in UK. Hundreds of tonnes are grown in the UK each year of a plant the public is told has no medicinal value and is dangerous.34 US States have some form of legal cannabis,including the nation's capitol.Great strides/research in medical use.Greatly increased revenue where cannabis is legal.Regulate/prevent abuse of monopoly power. No More Street Skunk.Stop lying.End the monopoly.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. You could start new a petition calling for all production of medical cannabis to cease in the UK.

If you would like medical use of cannabis to be made legal in the UK, or the laws on cannabis to be relaxed more generally, there are a number of petitions on petition.parliament.uk (https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=cannabis&state=open&commit=Search) relating to cannabis, which you may wish to sign.
