The mental health charity Rethink said the warning labels should be part of a campaign to address public misconceptions that cannabis is a risk-free drug A Rethink spokeswoman told SocietyGuardian.co.uk: "There is a deeply entrenched belief that cannabis is a risk-free drug. Every available method of changing attitudes, such as putting health warnings on cigarette papers, should be considered." - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
