Applications open for medical cannabis export licence

Fri, 11 Jun 2021

The Manx Government has confirmed that licence applications are open and the accompanying guidance completed, for the production, distribution and export of medicinal cannabis products from the Island.

In January 2021, Tynwald passed new regulations to create a comprehensive framework for a medicinal cannabis export sector on the Island and appointed the Gambling Supervision Commission (‘GSC’) as the regulator for the sector.

The GSC has now completed the guidance to support the new regulations, which will provide interested parties with details on the requirements for the licensing of hemp production and high-THC products.

The Department of Health and Social Care has issued a Prior Information Notice, inviting interested parties to express an interest in the project, which can be found here: https://www.gov.im/categories/business-and-industries/expressions-of-interest/. Expressions of interest should be submitted no later than 12 noon on the 15th June 2021. 

The full guidance, along with licence applications and further information is now available to view here: https://www.isleofmangsc.com/
