Although I accept that cannabis can become a trigger for mental health issues, in most cases underlying social issues would be the actual cause. You only need to look at a typical council estate to see how some people think they should bring up their kids. Physical and emotional neglect will cause more mental health problems than cannabis ever will. The goverment have picked cannabis at their scapegoat and they are sticking to it despite scientific evedence to the controrary.
Not far off being spot on, Generally an underlying mental health condition may never rear it's head but it's well documented that cannabis can bring this to the forefront. I speak as the manager of an inner city drug service that deals with the tragedy and chaos of drug and alcohol use on a daily basis. I have met Prof Knutt at a conference and he seems a stand up guy.
In terms of what he has said, It's fact that alcohol and tobacco are more detrimental to health than ecstasy and cannabis and his sacking is nothing more than a confirmation that the government chat siht/reconfigure the truth for the sake of gaining voters confidennce.
Classifiation of illegal drugs means nothing at all in real life terms and despite the ever changing policys and laws people will use what they want , when they want and how they want.
.....are you out of your mind? 
Narkiest get I have ever seen!
