Dear [MP Name],

I am writing to urge you to raise the Oliver Robinson inquest findings with the government and the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD).

Oliver Robinson, a 34-year-old with depression and other complex psychiatric problems, died after being prescribed high-strength cannabis by a private clinic following a single video consultation. The clinic never contacted his existing or prior psychiatrists.

In January 2026, the coroner ruled that the prescription contributed to his death - thought to be the first finding of its kind. The coroner issued a Prevention of Future Deaths report and referred the prescribing doctor to the General Medical Council.

I am asking you to:

  1. Raise this case with the Health Secretary
  2. Call for the government to respond urgently to the coroner's Prevention of Future Deaths report
  3. Ensure the ACMD's ongoing review of cannabis regulations incorporates patient safety lessons from this inquest
  4. Support statutory clear contraindications for serious mental illness in any regulatory changes

This death was preventable. The law must change to prevent it happening again.

Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
