SUPER-STRONG SKUNK: UPDATE

The super-strong 'slunk' strain of cannabis is typically 2-3 times stronger than other forms of the drug and now accounts for 75% of cannabis seized, according to the Daily Mail [ 2 May 2008].

80,000 street warnings were given to cannabis smokers last year. And drug offences leapt by over 50% since 2004, when cannabis was downgraded.

The number of people seeking treatment for mental illness has increased since 2004, standing at 25,944 last year, including 9,259 under-18s.
