Petition details
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- Cannabis prohibition began with no scientific, medical or social justification, and was initiated as an effort to harass, punish and deport racial minorities;
- The prohibition of cannabis has caused many social and economic harms, criminalized millions of Canadians for no benefit, and financed organized crime;
- Cannabis has the potential to provide food, medicine, fibre, fuel and building materials; and
- Cannabis medicines are safe and effective for treating a wide variety of ailments, yet are not readily available to all who require them.
1. Repeal the prohibition on possession and personal cultivation of cannabis;
2. Repeal Section 462.2 of the Criminal Code, which bans literature and harm reduction devices like waterpipes and vaporizers;
3. Permit patients or their designated grower to provide medical cannabis as recommended by a physician; and
