What the petition asks

Allow the general public to vote on the legalisation of cannabis flower and other cannabis products for medical and recreational use
Recent studies have shown the potential medicinal benefits of cannabis.

Countries around the globe have begun legalisation and I believe its time we follow suit. Cannabis legalisation could benefit the economy massively alongside lowering crime rates across the country.
