Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her planned timetable is for the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs to publish its review of cannabis-based products for medicinal use.

The Government commissioned the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (‘ACMD’) to review the current evidence on cannabis-based products for medicinal use (‘CBPMs’) on 2 June 2025.

The ACMD is an independent scientific advisory body and determines its own procedures. In its Work Programme, published on 21 September 2026, the ACMD has said that it expects to publish the report on CBPMs by the end of the year.
