MHK seeks clarity on status of medicinal cannabis

Attorney General asked whether UK changes apply here

The Attorney General of the Isle of Man will be asked to clarify the status of medicinal cannabis on the Island at this month's sitting of Tynwald.

Ramsey MHK Dr Alex Allinson wants to know whether changes to the Misuse of Drugs Regulations in the UK apply to Manx patients.

Doctors in the UK can now prescribe cannabis-based products to those with certain conditions.

Dr Allinson is asking the Attorney General to make sure Manx residents have access to the same treatments.
