Legalising cannabis a forward-thinking move - CLEAR

Tuesday, 3 November 2015 06:19

Reform group reacts to chief minister's comments

The president of the UK's largest cannabis reform group says regulating the drug on the Isle of Man would seriously reduce any harmful risks.

Peter Reynolds from CLEAR supports the idea of allowing the medicinal use of cannabis.

Chief Minister Allan Bell and Health Minister Howard Quayle have already said they are in favour of this, under the right circumstances.

And Mr Reynolds says changing the law would show the Island as a forward-thinking nation:
