Cannabis and mental illness

  • Everyone to know the mental health risks linked to cannabis use. What are the risks?
  • The Government to deliver on the massive public education programme promised in 2006 and stop being distracted by the reclassification issue. Why should cannabis stay at Class C?
  • Health warnings to be added to the products we know are used for cannabis: King Size rolling papers.
  • The Department of Health to finally invest in major research into the effects of cannabis on mental health.
