Legalise Cannabis for Medicinal purposes.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

For Cannabis to be legal for medical use. To have it available in the Uk.

I have an Epileptic partner and grandparents that suffer with a lot of different illnesses. I think that given this “drug” it would make a significant difference in their health. To have to buy it on the streets you have no idea what’s going into it and it’s not always the pain release they need. It can be controlled as America has proved.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

We understand you are concerned about the ability of patients to legally access cannabis for medicinal purposes. However the use of cannabis on prescription for rare, severe forms of epilepsy is already legal, so we're not sure what it is you would like the Government to do differently. You can find out more about this here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/medical-cannabis/.

If there is a specific change you would like the Government to make to the law regarding the medical use of cannabis, you could start a petition about that.
