Minister wants drug discussion
A review of the Island's laws on cannabis could get underway soon.
Home Affairs Minister Bill Malarkey told a Tynwald committee yesterday (Wed) that a 'full discussion' is needed, as many jurisdictions around the world change their legal classification of the Class B drug.
Posession of cannabis was blamed largely for a supposed 11% spike in crime in the Island last year.
Whilst full decriminalisation is 'not a likely option', Mr Malarkey says talks are continuing with the Attorney General over how the Island's laws could be changed.
He told the committee something needs to be done:
TT organisers announce revised Saturday race schedule
TT campers in 'high spirits' despite rain affecting race week
Rider taken to Noble's Hospital after Senior TT red flag
Red flag stops Senior TT race
Further delay to TT schedule due to 'non-racing operational matter'
