Topic discussed in Tynwald today (11 Dec)
The Department of Home Affairs is investigating ways in which possession of small amounts of cannabis won't lead to prosecutions.
Home Affairs Minister Bill Malarkey was speaking in Tynwald this morning in response to a question from Garff MHK Daphne Caine.
Mr Malarkey told the court that the medicinal use of cannabis and its decriminalisation are two separate issues, but he's made it clear in the past that he doesn't believe police time should be wasted on prosecuting for small amounts of the drug.
