Make the production, sale and use of medicinal and recreational cannabis legal.
The previous petition regarding this topic was received well by the general public, so well in fact that it registered as the 3rd most popular in the sites history.
However, when discussed in the HOP, it was brushed under the carpet due to "personal, medicinal and government" viewpoints.
The medicinal benefits can no longer be disputed, and the age old lies surrounding cannabis and mental health have been proven false. (Please refer to the most recent studies into cannabis and mental/physical health).
The potential revenue and room for business growth is exponential, whether it be pharmaceutical or recreational; just look at the business models from Colorado and other "legal" states.
The facts are now readily available, I think it's time for a re-think on an outdated policy.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
