Cannabis legalize for people on anti depression

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Canabis helps me on a day to day basis. It helps me with my anxiety and with my depressing thoughts. I have suffered with PTSD for a long time and I know for sure that canabis helps me to forget my past and to get on with my day to day activities
Legalize canabis for people on anti-depressants

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you would like those who are on anti-depressants to be prescribed cannabis for medicinal use, but we're not sure what changes you'd like Government or Parliament to make. Cannabis can already be prescribed for medicinal use by clinicians listed on the Special Register of the General Medical Council.

You can read more about it on the Government website: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/medicinal-cannabis-information-and-resources
