This petition was rejected

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.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
