Closed petition Reconsider decision on decriminalizing cannabis and hold another vote

Despite public support (60% in a 2023 JEP poll), Jersey’s Assembly rejected cannabis decriminalization on June 26th, 2024. Many residents favour reform, citing successful decriminalization elsewhere. Proponents argue it would; end unfair arrests (over half of 2022 candidates supported reduced penalties), free up police for serious crimes & generate revenue through taxation and a regulated cannabis industry. Studies show decriminalization doesn't increase overall drug use (A Quiet Revolution - by Release).
