Reconsider IoM cannabis stance, says UK lobbyist

As MPs prepared to debate UK cannabis laws in the House of Commons, the head of a British lobby group had called for the Isle of an to look at its stance on the drug.

President of CLEAR Peter Reynolds said it was great to see the issue raised here and in the Channel Islands last year, and hoped more discussion would 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 said legalisation would be a positive step for the Crown Dependencies.
