Background

Legalise marijuana for recreational use and sale

Additional details

Countries like Canada and parts of the U.S. have seen major benefits from cannabis legalisation: increased tax revenue, job creation, safer regulated markets, and weakened criminal gangs. Evidence shows many reasons to legalise. In the UK, more harmful products like tobacco and alcohol are legal, so why keep cannabis illegal? It’s time for the UK to take a progressive step forward. Legalisation would boost the economy, improve public safety, and reflect the will of the people.
