Drug experts today said there was still insufficient evidence to reclassify cannabis, after a report suggested the drug could increase the risk of schizophrenia by at least 40%.
The Labour MP Brian Iddon and Professor Robin Murray, of the Institute of Psychiatry, said there would be no benefit gained by restoring cannabis to a class B drug.
Their comments came after a report published today in medical journal the Lancet estimated there were at least 800 people suffering serious psychosis in the UK as a result of smoking cannabis.
The Home Office said last night that the report's findings would be considered in a review of the 2004 decision to downgrade cannabis to a class C drug.
The review was prompted by fears that the potent "skunk" form of cannabis was triggering schizophrenia.
Prof Murray, an expert on cannabis-induced psychosis, said the Lancet study added "very little" to the understanding of the health risks associated with smoking the drug. " ... UNQUOTE ..
