PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CANNABIS (22 February 2007)
Motion Details
That this House recognises that cannabis, particularly in its modern forms, is stronger than it was in the past; notes that it can be a deeply damaging drug particularly to young and vulnerable people; acknowledges the link between cannabis and certain types of mental illness; further notes that the majority of Class A drug addicts began by experimenting with cannabis; and calls upon the Government to acknowledge its dangers and also to transfer cannabis from Class C to Class B.
