Medical Cannabis (20 Feb 2018)

Steve Pound: ...and suggest that he speak with his colleague the Secretary of State for Health and ask about the extensive trial, known as delta-9, which took place in the Royal Marsden hospital 40 years ago? Cannabis was found to be an excellent prophylactic against nausea caused by ontological medicine. The data is there. The empirical evidence is there. Why does he not save time and trouble by having a...

Points of Order: Drugs Policy (18 Jul 2017)

Steve Pound: My hon. Friend is making an informed statement. Does he agree that cannabis sativa and cannabis indica are totally different from the skunk that we have discussed? The experience in the western United States is that one can have a perfectly civilised purchasing system for cannabis sativa and cannabis indica. May I possibly appeal to the more avaricious elements on the Government Benches, as...

Orders of the Day — Drugs Bill (18 Jan 2005)

Steve Pound: ...addicts say to me, "I take it so it doesn't hurt any more," so in other words they take drugs to stop the cravings and pain. We must disaggregate the problem of drugs.

Orders of the Day — Drugs Bill (18 Jan 2005)

Steve Pound: I do not want to be antagonistic, but does the hon. Gentleman have any empirical evidence whatever to support the thesis that milk drinking leads to whisky drinking, or that cannabis smoking leads to the injection of diamorphine hydrochloride?

Illegal Drugs Trade (Northern Ireland) (22 Jan 2004)

Steve Pound: I caution the hon. Gentleman and ask him to exercise discretion about the structure of events that he has just formulated. The theory that drinking milk leads to drinking whisky and that cannabis leads to heroin has been the staple of sensational journalism for 20 or 30 years. Empirical evidence absolutely denies it. All the criminal evidence is that the people who deal in cannabis are not...

Behaviour Improvement in Schools (12 Jul 2002)

Steve Pound: ...of the horrors of the reality of education and, in particular, parental involvement. Some of the worst cases of drug involvement in schools that I have been aware of have been where boys have sold cannabis which they obtained from their father, who grows it, smokes it and allows it in the home and in no way condemns it, and even gives his son that drug to sell. That is an actual case. Two...
