CANNABIS RECLASSIFICATION

Early day motion 1426, tabled 19 January 2006 by Nigel Evans (Conservative). Signed by 24 members.

That this House notes the recommendation of the Advisory Panel on the Reclassification of Cannabis; agrees with the Home Secretary that cannabis is extremely harmful and is directly linked with psychiatric disorders and other debilitating illnesses; welcomes the proposed advertising campaign; recognises the mixed messages that the initial reclassification of cannabis sends to young people; further welcomes his announcement that he is to review the entire classification system relating to all drugs; but calls on him to reclassify cannabis from a C class drug to a B class drug pending the outcome of the review.
