Petition Action

Full legalisation & taxation of Cannabis for Medical & Recreation use.

Petition Details

Seriously consider legalisation and taxation of Cannabis following similar models found in the rest of the world.

Tax revenue to be used directly towards struggling public sectors and other areas in need of funding.

Full legalisation also benefits people with specific & unique medical needs.

Additional Information

With the rising cost of living more households & businesses are feeling the pinch, taxation of UK cannabis is CERTAIN to lessen the effects of the UK's current financial situation.

Colorado made over $67 Million in tax revenue during its first year of legalisation.

In our current financial climate the potential for millions in additional tax CANNOT be ignored.

It was originally banned throughout the UK in accordance with the 1925 opium convention, a law which is almost 100 years out of date.
