Sacked government drugs adviser Prof David Nutt has called for a Royal Commission to investigate whether cannabis should be decriminalised.
Prof Nutt told the BBC the possibility of allowing Dutch-style cannabis cafes should be "explored".
But his call comes as another academic is due to publish a study highlighting the possible links between the drug and schizophrenia.
"The more you smoke, the higher the risk," Prof Robin Murray told the BBC.
Prof Nutt told Radio 4's The Report that a Royal Commission on decriminalising the use of cannabis was a "sensible" idea and it could have "big health benefits."
I've just got my fingers crossed that one day, soon hopefully, we wont be such a backwards country.
