What the petition asks
To legalise the use of cannabis for recreational use for over 21s
Cannabis has more benefits then alcohol
Cannabis is safer than anything else 0 deaths in the history of time.
Making it legal would benefit people who have medical conditions.
Making it legal will reduce the amount of people in jails and save the government money on costs of court proceedings.
We are currently behind the rest of the world in this matter even America has legalised it because there's no reason for it not to be.
People of different religions use cannabis and are being persecuted.
