CANNABIS RECLASSIFICATION

Early day motion 1696, tabled 16 September 2003 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 12 members.

That this House believes that the welcome decision to reclassify cannabis is an opportunity to restate the message that all drugs are dangerous; notes that previous Governments' failure to identify the relative dangers of each illegal drug reduced the credibility of health warnings; and believes that the most valuable and credible health message would re-emphasise the dangers of cannabis but also highlight that the risk of cancers, and heart and bronchial diseases can be avoided if cannabis is ingested in ways other than smoking.

Signatures by party: Labour 10, Liberal Democrat 2.
