What the petition asks
Legalise Cannabis for medicinal purposes. Cannabis has many benefits that are being ignored by our Government.
Misinformed facts have created a stigma, allowing a highly beneficial plant to not be recognised as a form of natural treatment.

New research and studies have shown and proven the benefits cannabis provides for diseases and illnesses , such as MS, PTSD and metal health issues.
