Family doctors support the legalisation of cannabis for medicinal use but are opposed to its general decriminalisation, a new survey indicates.
A majority of GPs have concerns about the effects of cannabis on mental health but also believe it has a therapeutic role, according to the online survey by the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP).
Almost 60 per cent supported the legalisation of cannabis for medical use, while a similar proportion did not support its decriminalisation.
