Prof Sellman said while most of his patients at his clinical youth psychiatry practice were aged between 13 and 18, he had treated children as young as 12 and was aware of even younger children who had taken risks with alcohol.

The risk of death from alcohol was significantly higher than from cannabis, but young people did not seem to know that and were influenced by campaigns showing drinking as attractive, he said.

    • This is why I hate commercials bashing cannabis. They neglect to talk about the dangers of alcohol.

      Too many drinks too fast can KILL you, especially if you're young.

      Too much weed will just put you to sleep.... and it'll be a great night sleep.
