Mental Health Risks Associated With Cannabis Use (EDM910)

Mental Health Risks Associated With Cannabis Use

EDM number 910 in 2003-04, proposed by Lynne Jones on 24/03/2004.

That this House welcomes the campaign by Rethink Severe Mental Illness to highlight the mental health risks associated with cannabis use; notes that many people wrongly view cannabis as a risk-free drug; supports further research into the links between cannabis and severe mental illness that focuses on its widespread use amongst young people, the increasing strength of cannabis on sale on the streets and its short and long-term effects on mental health; hopes that a long-term, well funded, innovative campaign aimed at publicising the real mental health risks associated with cannabis will be put in place as soon as possible; and calls on the Government for more resources to be devoted to mental health warnings on the use of cannabis.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
