The Issue

Hello everyone we all need your help, I've  made this petition to try and create change on how police deal with medical cannabis users.

Currently thousands of people in the United Kingdom are prescribed medical cannabis for numerous medical conditions. I have seen since being legal that to many police officers are not trained on how to deal with these patient's.

 People are getting arrested because it seems the police force haven't got a clue on why these patients are prescribed cannabis or even discriminating patients for using there medication.

 

This needs to stop as its not healthy for us patients to have to go through court proceedings due to lack of training! We are prescribed a medication to help our conditions/disability , we don't need our conditions amplified because it used to be fully illegal to use!

We are not criminals and do not deserve to be treated like one!
