Campaigners will tonight call for drugs to be legalised, and regulated, on the Island in order to safeguard children.
The Positive Action Group and Isle of Man Freethinkers are jointly hosting an event at the Legion Club on Market Hill in Douglas from 7.30pm.
Jane Slater of UK group TRANSFORM will join Ray Lakeman, whose two sons died after taking drugs, to explain the possible benefits of such a policy change.
She says there are a variety of reasons to turn away from a war on drugs:
Power station chimney flue arrives this week
Peel sewage works hits milestone
MHK to query gas buying for power generation
Yoga studio applies for sign permission
Yacht club worries over lifeboat retirement
One nuisance cyclist ticketed in more than three years
Huge floating book fair to arrive in Douglas next month
