Public meeting to tackle impact of drugs on Island

A public meeting is taking place tonight to discuss the impact of drugs on the Isle of Man.

Led by 'Anyone's Child: Families for Safer Drug Control,' the meeting will also include conversations of how to better protect the community.

Ray Lakeman is from the organization, and lost his two sons after they overdosed on MDMA in 2014 - he's one of the speakers at tonight's meeting.

He says an aim of the meeting is to get people thinking about the current drug laws.

The meeting is taking place at the Douglas Promenade Methodist Church at 7pm.
