PUT CANNABIS WARNINGS ON CIGARETTE PAPERS, CHARITY URGES
Warnings about the dangers cannabis poses to mental health should be put
on packets of cigarette papers, a charity said today.
The mental health charity Rethink said the warning labels should be
part of a campaign to address public misconceptions that cannabis is a
risk-free drug
A Rethink spokeswoman told SocietyGuardian.co.uk: "There is a deeply
entrenched belief that cannabis is a risk-free drug. Every available
method of changing attitudes, such as putting health warnings on
cigarette papers, should be considered."
