What the petition asks
Allow patients that are prescribed cannabis to grow their own cannabis at home with a restriction of 6 plants per household. This is to assist people with financial difficulty who may not be able to afford a private prescription.
We believe patients prescribed by a medical specialist should be allowed to maintain 3-6 flowering plants (with extra considerations for starting new seedlings.) A registration database could be maintained for grow your own patients
It has been estimated that there are around 25-30,000 legal medical cannabis patients across the UK. Patients can face severe financial difficulty affording their prescription.
"Grow Your Own" is available to cannabis patients in many other countries.
