Written Question

Cannabis

Wednesday 26th April 2017

Asked by: Lord Northbrook (Non-affiliated - Excepted Hereditary)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have made an assessment of the differing risks posed by different strengths of cannabis; and, if so, whether they have published those results.

Answered by Baroness Williams of Trafford - Shadow Chief Whip (Lords)

The government relies on the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs to inform its assessment of drug harms. The most recent advice from the ACMD relating to cannabis is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/acmd-cannabis-classification-and-public-health-2008
