MHK sees crop as 'revenue stream' for farmers
Allowing farmers to grow cannabis would help diversify agriculture on the Isle of Man.
That's the view of Ramsey MHK, Dr Alex Allinson.
Dr Allinson will ask the Treasury Minister at Tynwald tomorrow (17 July) whether, if the drug is legalised, the department has considered the tax revenue from a potential cannabis industry.
He says like the UK Home Office, licenses could be issued for growers of both medicinal and industrial versions of the drug:
Main road between Peel and Douglas to shut for tree felling
Emergency closure announced by DOI
'Targeted and intelligence led approach' to protect Island's borders during Irish sailings
Justice and Home Affairs Minister gives assurance that border security has been strengthened
Airport Director role advertised with top salary of £120,000
Department of Infrastructure looks to fill role in 2026
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
So what needs to happen to regenerate Peel's high street?
