Well I did say, "and I am not the only one" You know full well that cannabis can cause psychological problems. Maybe not for you, but the law isn't designed especially for you and your ilk, is it Edited September 15, 2020 by Barlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't emergent science, cannabis does less harm than alcohol and nicotine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok people will say use Skype but for people that are used to seeing each other every 6 weeks or so it's not the same. They cant wait to go. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes you look silly. Cannabis is a headfucker. Not for everyone I agree. But a headfucker it is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Looks like Watterson wants us To go to Ireland!! Tynwald question today What progress is being made in getting the Isle of Man added to the Irish Green list for travel? Travellers entering Ireland are currently required to restrict their movements in line with Ireland’s official public health advice. A number of countries are exempt from this and appear on what is known as a Green List. At the current time, the Isle of Man is not included on the list of these locations and Isle of Man residents travelling to Ireland are therefore required to observe Ireland’s restrictions to movement on arrival. We understand that the list is reviewed fortnightly based on relevant advice. Officials from the Cabinet Office are engaged with the Irish Government to discuss the Isle of Man’s inclusion in future iterations of the Green List.

wrighty Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 48 minutes ago, Banker said: As an experienced medic perhaps you could explain why there is a greater risk allowing non resident family visiting and isolating with 7 day test than a resident returning and doing the same thing? in both cases they are staying with family. Same answer as Lagman, but you dismissed that. If it’s one person, and they follow the rules, then obviously it is irrelevant if they’re a returning resident or a visiting relative. If the rules are ‘bent’ a bit then it’s more likely that locals will be exposed as a resident living alone is less likely to mix than visiting family. But the numbers are key.

If they follow the isolation advice, there is no risk of your family inadvertently bringing the virus back to the island. I hope they enjoy themselves, and do not worry about criticism from the more risk averse inward looking people amongst us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but the low amounts of harm, not insignificant amounts of benefit, significant amounts of tax income and removal of a route of income for illegal activities are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
