Petition update, 21 August 2008

More details from petition creator

The conditions we propose are:

1. Age Limit be set between 18 & 21 2. Sale of cannabis be taxed. (money made can be used to fund medical treatment for cannabis users.) 3. Sold at designated outlets. (not in pulic shops) 4. Consumption of cannabis is not allowed outdoors or in public. (will be for personal use in the users own home) 5. Set amount of cannabis sold per person per week, month etc (this could be controlled by ID cards etc) 6. Advertising limits, like the limits on tabacco, should be placed on cannabis and health warnings should be on all packaging

The benefits of legalising cannabis are as follows:

The Government would be able to control potency of cannabis available and amount sold to each individual. Money made from tax would cover any medical treatment needed by users. Users would not come into contact with drug dealers, therefore there is less chance of them coming into contact with harder drugs. Will decrease the crime rate if cannabus is readily available. It will eliminate the need of an underground subculture

We strongly urge the PM to consider legalising Cannabis under these strict conditions as we feel all parties would benefit
