Cannabis has for a long time been a controversial subject in the UK, but in recent years it is apparent that the public attitude is changing.

We are petitioning to change the law to legalise cannabis in the UK medicinally and recreationally, following the likes of Canada, Colorado, California and other such U.S. states.

The time has come for the UK government to recognise that the 'war on drugs' has failed and that medical cannabis clearly has its uses, the case of Alfie Dingley being just one of many.

Additionally, by removing the cannabis industry from criminals, and regulating and taxing it would not only produce an economic benefit for the UK but it would also help reduce the strain on our emergency services.
