Legalise cannabis for medical use

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

On a personal note Having suffered with back pain for over a decade and used many different kinds of pain relief daily ie tramadol,gabapentin, tpain,zapain, nothing works, i would like the opportunity to try cannabis without having to break the law
In todays modern world it is well known that cannabis has many medicinal qualities to aid problems like cancer, epilepsy,ms, and many many other medical issues ,i consider it morally wrong and cruel to keep this drug banned
