Make Cannabis legal for recreational as well as medical use

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Cannabis should be legalised for both medical and recreational use because it's significantly safer than alcohol. Legalization would offer a healthier alternative, reduce harm, and align with public health goals. It's time to reform outdated laws for a safer, healthier society.
