SIGN OUR PETITION to the Government of Canada
OUR GOAL is 10,000 SIGNATURES!
We, the citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to continue its efforts in redressing the harms of 95 years of unscientific and racist cannabis prohibition by:
1. Acknowledging that the law never should have existed; and
2. Granting expungements to Canadian citizens convicted of offences involving cannabis.
