Legalise Cannabis Use and Sales for Adults over 18

The conversation around cannabis in the UK has changed dramatically, and one thing is crystal clear: it’s not going away. Despite current prohibition, a vast illicit market thrives, operating without any regard for public safety. Dealers don’t check ID, meaning under 18s have easy access.
We think that it is even more abhorrent, this illegal trade fuels a hidden underworld of modern slavery, with vulnerable individuals being trafficked and forced into dangerous and exploitative conditions in illicit cannabis grows across the UK. We think it’s time for the UK to face this reality and implement a responsible, regulated cannabis market that prioritises public health, safety, and informed choice over the failing status quo, and actively works to dismantle the criminal enterprises that profit from human suffering
