Well anyway back to the theme of the thread, I don't think it'd be a great move because the people there already act like they been puffing 40 spliffs a day 24/7/365 - but their tourist industry earnings, which is pretty much all they got, would go through the roof so maybe not so daft afterall.


I think it would be a smart move, as its really nobody's buisness what people do with their own bodies

It will help cut down crime and gangs, with also making the drug safer.


Don't get me wrong, I've advocated de-criminalising all drugs forever, I just don't think a dry run on the Isle of Man would tell us much, we need to just get on, go the whole hog and run it out nationwide.

Might be a bit dangerous with the TT races. Last thing you want is a stoner wandering into the road at a bad moment.
