Cannabis Use And Mental Health (EDM1352)

Cannabis Use And Mental Health

EDM number 1352 in 2005-06, proposed by Lynne Jones on 11/01/2006.

That this House congratulates Rethink for campaigning on the issue of cannabis and mental illness for many years; notes the existence of evidence linking cannabis use and psychotic symptoms for some users; calls on the Government to invest significantly in health education for the public, school-age children and people in contact with mental health services, rather than devoting resources to reclassification to class B; believes education would lead to health benefits whilst increasing criminal penalties would not; and further calls on the Government to expand services for people with mental illness and substance use problems.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
