There is uncompromising support for the expansion of medical cannabis on the Isle of Man. This widespread support has meant that the government has been motivated to improve access to medical cannabis on the Isle of Man.
The government of the Isle of Man conversed with the population to the island to ascertain the population’s feelings on medical cannabis.
More than 95% of the respondents in the Government survey said that they were supportive of a regulated medical cannabis market on the Isle of Man. Many of the respondents were in favour of introducing quality-assured products were available to the public.
Medical cannabis was legalised in the UK on the 1st of November 2018 and medical cannabis became legal on the same day on the Isle of Man. However, medical cannabis can only be prescribed to a patient for very specific medical conditions by a specialist doctor. If the drug policy on the Isle of Man is relaxed, medical cannabis would still only be available when prescribed by a doctor. The key legislative change is that the cannabis-based medications can be prescribed by more general practitioners rather than the only those who are on the specialist register.
Cannabis and Hemp Production
The exportation and cultivation of hemp and cannabis may soon be legalised on the Isle of Man. With the Department of Enterprise consulting the public on a proposed update to the Misuse of Drugs Act 1976. The Government’s Department of Enterprise estimates that regulated production could result in £3m per year in revenue for the Isle of Man. The cultivation, importing, exporting and sale of cannabis is currently illegal on the Isle of Man.
The suggested law changes would enable businesses and investors to complete an application for a licence to ensure they can grow the cannabis plant, produce cannabis-based products derived from the plants they grow and use cannabis for research.
It is likely that a licence will cost in the region of £1,000 and £35,000 per annum and it will be dependent on which cannabis plant you decide to grow and the scale in which the cannabis is grown.
