quilp Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I don't know but think he and his merry men are obliged to enforce the law with the AG's office responsible for bringing a case to trial. Might be wrong... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlow Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Yes, the Isle of Man is seen by many as an Island of petrol heads. There are some that would have the Isle of Man seen as an Island of pot heads too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it about cannabis that you dislike? Seen a few people have their first spliff and lose it; whitey, puking, disorientated, completely off their heads. Never to dabble ever again. Is this you? Truth is, cannabis is not for everyone but it must be re-iterated that the majority of users do so, recreationally and medically, without any problem. Obviously the dangers of smoking anything are apparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cissolt Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Lots of words for government doing fuck all. Legalise and tax it, use the imagine to improve the health service. Scrap half the Manx care board in the process. https://gef.im/2022/03/10/private-medicinal-cannabis-prescriptions-will-be-available-soon/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I suspect the cost of the prescription will be prohibitive to a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, once again you're letting your unenlightened preconceptions about all cannabis users cloud your judgement. Though I'd agree it was a bollocks analogy... Perhaps you need to smoke a bit more? On a not totally unrelated point, the use and accessibility of cannabis has greatly increased since I were a lad. I do wonder why so many young folk smoke cigarettes though. I mean jeez, if ever there was a bum weed, then tobacco is it. Cigarette addiction virtually guarantees a later life of a prematurely greying, wizened, wrinkled hacking nicotine-stained mess.

Barlow Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Should we enforce cannabis laws? From Isle of Man Newspapers. Well actually yes, we should. Until such time as the law is changed then it is the law. It looks like the local pot heads have got to Gary. I'm not convinced that "most of the people accept that cannabis is OK to use". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
