The government says it'll spend more than half a million pound as it looks at changing the Island's medical cannabis laws.
In a press conference today, Treasury Minister Alf Cannan gave the figures as he discussed how the government plans to support the economy following the coronavirus pandemic.
He revealed £550,000 will be spent developing a legislative framework next year.
The money has been set aside to develop the Manx medicinal cannabis sector.
