DR MAX PEMBERTON: Every day, I see the dreadful impact of cannabis - and it's far worse than anyone can possibly imagine. Let me tell you what will REALLY happen if it's decriminalised
Day in and day out, I see the tragic human fallout from our lackadaisical attitude towards cannabis. I work in a specialist service for people with emerging severe mental illness and most of my patients have experienced psychosis.
The vast majority of them have used cannabis, and their lives have been shattered by this dreadful drug. Around one third of psychosis cases in the capital are the result of cannabis, according to research by Sir Robin Murray, a professor of Psychiatric Research at King's College London.
