What the petition asks

THC psychoactive within 'street weed' has risen to dangerous levels. Unbalanced THC:CBD levels can cause mental health issues for the consumer. Relaxing Hemp Flower ('Cannabis Light') law gives a legal, non-psychoactive alternative whilst also creating a new UK industry from beneficial cannabinoids.
Our reasoning: https://thegoodbudz.com/blogs/news/petition-to-the-uk-government-to-relax-thc-and-cbd-limitations

"Cannabis resin usually contains cannabidiol (CBD), a substance thought to protect against some of the dangerous effects of THC"
"...doctors think (...) high levels of THC, especially without CBD to counteract it, (...) to become addicted and develop mental health problems."
