Allow people with medicinal cannabis prescriptions to grow their own cannabis

Closed 2,854 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to make it legal for people who have a prescription for medical cannabis to grow their own cannabis for their own medical use.
My prescription costs over £1000 a month, I struggle to pay for it all. I want the Government to legalize the cultivation of cannabis for medical users that already have a prescription for medical cannabis so that patients who cannot afford their prescription can have access to this medicine.
