Baroness Nicol

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will make available any research the Department of Health has commissioned into the effects of cannabis. [HL2203]

The Minister of State, Department of Health (Baroness Jay of Paddington)

Reports of literature reviews addressing the following aspects have now been submitted to the Department of Health in their final form following peer review:

  • Clinical and Pharmacological Aspects—Professor Heather Ashton (Newcastle University)
  • Psychological and Psychiatric Aspects—Dr. Andrew Johns (Institute of Psychiatry)
  • Therapeutic Aspects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids—Dr. Philip Robson (Oxford University)

These reviews were commissioned by the department but intellectual property right lies with the authors. The views are their own, and are not necessarily those of the Department of Health. Copies have been placed in the Library.
