WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence: fortieth report

Overview

Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) Resolution 52/5 noted that the health effects of cannabis had not been recently reviewed and requested that the WHO ECDD provide an updated report. The thirty-seventh ECDD (2015) requested that the ECDD Secretariat begin collecting data that would inform the review of cannabis, cannabis resin and extracts and tinctures of cannabis at a future meeting. Two reports on cannabis were presented in 2016 at the thirtyeighth meeting of the ECDD.
