Health minister to be quizzed on cannabis laws

The Island's Health Minister will face questions on cannabis laws in Tynwald next week.

David Ashford MHK will be asked by Garff MHK Daphne Caine what plans DHSC has to seek an amendment of the law to reclassify cannabis as a Class C drug.

Mrs Caine also wants to know what progress has been made with enabling the prescription of the drug for medicinal use locally and what engagement has been done with GP's on the matter.

The sitting of the court, which will take place virtually, is expected to begin next Tuesday (March 16) at 10.30am.
