Hundreds sign petition to legalise cannabis

Fri, 30 Sep 2016

Hundreds of people have signed a petition urging the Manx Government to legalise cannabis.

The Isle of Man Cannabis Social Group set up the petition online earlier this week, and it's attracted almost 400 signatures so far.

The campaign wants Manx residents to be allowed to grow up to six plants for personal use and make cannabis available on the NHS for medicinal purposes.

The petition will be delivered to the Government once it gains 500 supporters.
