Managing Prescription Cannabis Use in Housing - A free Webinar

Mar 20 2025 10:54 AM

The use of prescription cannabis in residential settings is raising important questions for ASB and housing professionals. With over 45,000 people now prescribed Cannabis-Based Products for Medicinal Use (CBPMs), a number expected to rise to 60,000 by the end of 2024, landlords and enforcement officers are encountering new challenges in balancing the rights of individuals with the wider impact on communities.

To provide much-needed clarity, the Cannabis Industry Council has published new guidance, addressing key concerns such as:

  • Balancing rights and responsibilities – Where does the Equality Act come in, and how does it impact enforcement?
  • Clarifying responsibility – Should action sit with housing providers, local authorities, or police?
  • Managing complaints and expectations – How can cases be handled fairly and effectively?
  • Understanding legal considerations – What does this mean for tenancy agreements and policy decisions?

You can download the guidance document here 

To explore these issues further, Green & Burton ASB Associates is hosting a practical roundtable discussion to examine the real-world implications of the guidance and share best practice solutions. In collaboration with ASB Help, Clarke Willmott Solicitors and with kind sponsorship from the team at React, we are looking forward to bringing this really important issue into a live forum to discuss.
