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 It's time to reform outdated laws for a safer, healthier society.
