Legalize cannabis!

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

We as cannabis users want to stop being criminalised for using our drug of choice. I have smoked everyday for 10 years since the age of 16 and have never come to any harm because of cannabis! Alcohol on the other hand is far worse yet legal. I want to see concrete evidence that cannabis is harmful.
Now I havnt done any research myself but I have spent many hours reading facts about cannabis and I can assure you cannabis in moderation is far less harmful than alcohol or tobacco and even prescribed drugs! It's time for change. Government need to stop sweeping the issue under the carpet and come up with facts. Cannabis is a wonder drug that can medicate, fuel and clothe. Open your eyes people.
