Proceeding contribution from Brian Iddon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 January 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Regulation of Cannabis.


Regulation of Cannabis

The fact is that tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the drug and, furthermore, there are more than 20 varieties of the cannabis plant, from hemp, which contains 0 per cent. THC, to skunk, which contains very high quantities of THC. I welcome my right hon. Friend’s attempts to re-engage young people in the education debate, but would he give them the correct facts, so that they can avoid skunk, if and when—hopefully not—they choose to buy cannabis on the street?
