Create a regulated market for Ecstasy

Closed 67 signatures

What the petition asks

Ecstasy a.k.a MDMA or Midomafetamine is a common class A recreational drug deeply infused within British rave and party culture. It has been used as a party drug since the 60’s. Its been illegal since 1977 but this hasnt stopped the shear number of people taking the drug.
This has resulted in a dangerous black market where many deaths have occured due to overdose or due to what has been mixed within the drug. This petition isnt trying to condone the use of the drug but to make a safe, regulated market where if the drug is to be used it is coming from a trustworthy and controlled source. This will ultimately reduce ODs, increase knowledge and education of the drug, create tax revenue, cut out the black market AND SAVE LIVES! Please do some of your own research:)
