The Chief Constable is worried enforcing the Island's cannabis laws could undermine police authority, as attitudes towards the drug change.
This week he was giving evidence to Tynwald's Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee and was asked about cannabis use and decriminalisation.
He told committee members a decision on decriminalising cannabis would have to be made by Tynwald, but that the drug is already ubiquitous on the Island.
And he added he was concerned police enforcement wasn't in step with the public's views:
Family's appeal to bring brain-injured dad home
Island animal charity appeals for help after relentless bad weather
Further appeal for witnesses following incident in Ramsey
Speed restrictions planned for the coast road next week
Hundreds paid by cheque after MiCard scheme scrapped
No drone zone on Tynwald Day
