Prohibit the sale and use of alcohol

Petition Details

The UK Government cannot claim that cannabis deserves to be illegal while allowing the use of alcohol, which has continually been proven to cause far more damage than cannabis.

The UK remains the largest exporter of cannabis in the world while maintaining it has no medicinal value.

Additional Information

Alcohol is directly responsible for an estimated cost to the NHS of £3.5 billion annually.
Alcohol-related crime is estimated to cost between £8bn and £13bn per year.
In 2014-5, there were around 1.1 million hospital admissions related to alcohol consumption where an alcohol-related disease, injury or condition was the primary reason for admission.

This is clear evidence that alcohol is a harmful drug which can damage people’s mental and physical health, and harms individuals and communities.
