Make the use of Cannabis legal for general use

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Legalise the use of Cannabis for all purposes. Cannabis has been used for all sorts of things and has been used in many different ways. Death by Cannabis has never occurred and has only occurred if something else has been in the mix like alcohol or other narcotics.
Too many years have past, the UK are too soft on this situation and may as well be legal. Cannabis is the most used drug in the UK without leading into any health problems. (unless that person has pre-existing health issues)
