Cannabis debate in UK parliament today
As MPs prepare to debate UK cannabis laws in the House of Commons, the head of a British lobby group has called for the Isle of Man to look at its stance on the drug.
President of CLEAR Peter Reynolds says it was great to see the issue raised here and in the Channel Islands last year, and hopes more discussion will take place.
The group has around half a million supporters, and wants to see medicinal cannabis at the very least available, ending the criminalisation of the people who use it to help manage their illnesses and conditions.
Mr Reynolds says legalisation would be a positive step for the Crown Dependencies:
