Click here (http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/CannabisSocClubs/) for the Legalise Cannabis Alliance's (http://www.lca-uk.org) petition to the British Prime Minister to allow private-member Cannabis Social Clubs for adults.

The petition simply states "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to allow local authorities the power to license legal private-member Cannabis Social Clubs for adults."

The Legalise Cannabis Alliance adds:

CANNABIS SOCIAL CLUBS: A HEALTHY OPTION

In most countries, adults can go to a shop or bar when they want to buy alcohol or consume, or they can brew their own.

There should be a system for production and distribution of cannabis that will cause less problems and lower policing costs. There should be a place where cannabis can be enjoyed in a responsible way, where it is away from minors, hard drugs, and where the consumers are safe.

CSC's are associations of citizens who want to cultivate a limited amount of cannabis to satisfy their personal needs legally.

Health and safety conditions of a CSC should be monitored during the entire process - from cultivation to consumption. This would stop the use of adulterants used in the illegal market all with their own risks.

Cultivation would take place in accordance with safety rules. This would reduce problems such as fire risk and theft of electricity.

Membership of the clubs would be limited to adults, so these clubs are a way to reduce the availability of cannabis to minors.

This proposal is a harm reduction measure.
