Legalise marijuana for recreational use and medicinal use
Rejected
16 signatures
What the petition asks
Marijuana is safer than alcohol and already the most widely used drug in the UK. You can't overdose or be physically addicted to marijuana. Legalisation would generate thousands of jobs, a fortune in tax and would free up our prisons and reduce crime rates.
