Legalise cannabis for medical and recreational use in the UK

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Cannabis can be used to treat many ailments like gastroparesis, insomnia, multiple sclerosis, arthritis. That is only a small list of what the plant can do for someone. It could also raise £1bn in tax revenue. Alcohol and tobacco kill more in a single year than cannabis has ever killed in history.
