What the petition asks
Look at how other countries are benefiting from legalising cannabis for recreational use,
Regulate cannabis So it takes the power off the street dealers, so we know what it’s grown with and what strength it is
Cannabis is easier for under 21s to purchase than it is alcohol
Put cannabis behind a counter and and regulated age limit of 21+
Only fair you Legalise it now the government are growing and distributing 80% off the cannabis trade to Europe- but you tell us it’s unhealthy yet you sell it to Europe for recreational use?
Control cannabis plant take away from street dealers
