Revoke all cannabis growing licences including all cannabis derivatives

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Since the uk government has said cannabis has no medicial use why should pharmaceutical companys profit off it by revoking all licences as well as all cannabis derivatives ie hemp this will send a clear message that cannabis has no use

Not the age old one rule for us one rule for you

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The UK Government has not said that cannabis has no medical use. You can read a recent statement from the Home Secretary about cannabis-based medicines here:

We're therefore not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
