Hold a national referendum on legalising and decriminalising cannabis.

Petition Details

The UK government should hold a referendum regarding the legalisation of cannabis. The referendum must include an outline for a regulated market for recreational and medicinal use. We believe legalisation would create economic benefits through employment opportunities and taxation.

Additional Information

According to a 2021 YouGov survey a majority of the UK population would support the legalisation of cannabis. The legalisation of cannabis could better ensure safe consumption with rules and regulations to protect the public.

Furthermore, the decriminalisation of cannabis should allow police departments to reallocate time and funding to more important issues. Finally, it is estimated the UK could recoup £1bn annually through consumption taxes levied on cannabis.
