To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is his assessment of the relative toxicity of (a) cannabis, (b) heroin/morphine and (c) cocaine and their capacity to create addition. [35877]
Mr. Bowis
There is significant morbidity and mortality associated with the misuse of drugs, the extent of which may vary according to the individual misuser and the drug misused. Heroin, morphine, cocaine, cannabis and other psychotropic drugs have the potential to create dependency, the severity of which will also vary.
