What the petition asks
Legalise marijuana for the public
You can tax the marijuana to earn more income and people with certain conditions/issues use the substance as a form of management. Not everyone can afford the private prescription costs. If you can be prescribed the drug as a form of medication how can it be that dangerous for the streets. It would reduce crime and drug dealing rates and also reduce the time and resources the police are using to shut down operations. Overall the legalisation of marijuana would have many benefits for everyone.
