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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. Hemp can be grown legally in the UK with a licence from the Home Office and hemp products, such as hemp plastics, can be sold, so we're not sure what further action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.
