TALKING ABOUT CANNABIS CAMPAIGN

That this House notes that Talking About Cannabis (TAC) is a new action group formed by parents with first hand experience of the effects of cannabis on young people; congratulates TAC for its campaign to raise public awareness of the scientific and medical effects of cannabis, particularly the more potent strain known as skunk, on the mental health of children and teenagers; further congratulates TAC on its focus on preventative drug education in schools in an attempt to stop children from becoming users; supports TAC's campaign for the reclassification of cannabis to Class B from Class C in order to send out a clear message that smoking cannabis in childhood and teenage years is highly dangerous; and calls on the Government to adopt the approach recommended by TAC.
