Make the cultivation, production, sale and use of cannabis legal for adults.
We are calling on the government to take cannabis out of the illicit market and move it into a legal framework, with regulations on products and purchasing restrictions to those aged 18+.
By moving cannabis into a legal, regulated framework the UK could shrink the illicit market, improve product safety and restrict underage use.
Studies have shown that legalisation could bring in tax revenues of £1 billion per year, which could be invested into public services. An estimated £2.5 billion a year would be taken out of the illicit market and brought into the regular economy.
