"The number of people detained in hospital for mental and behavioural problems due to cannabis use has soared since the drug was reclassified. Data released by the Scottish Executive in a parliamentary answer this week will show 494 discharges from acute hospitals last year after a 'cannabinoid'- related diagnosis, compared with 285 in 2003, the year before cannabis was downgraded from a class B to a class C drug."
