NoTailT Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 10 minutes ago, The Phantom said: Firm granted a licence to grow and export. https://www.businessisleofman.com/news/first-isle-of-man-medicinal-cannabis-for-export-licence-approved/ Gro Labs appear to be already operating in the UK, but are going to move their Head Office and some growing here. Although I can't find any info on a Gro Labs on the UK Companies Registry. Their website is already mentioning their IOM operation. https://growlaborganics.com/about Still an ironic sick joke. We'll be growing and exporting here now, whilst no one here is realistically able to use it. Alex Fray behind it is an Islander isn't he? Wasn't he Boston Multi Family Office?

Yeah but because he is Boston CSP, makes me unsure whether he is doing it himself or on behalf of a client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt he has other backers now though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 The licence has been issued by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. I find this confusing. The CEO of the Gambling Supervision Commission states: "The GSC has worked attentively to identify a definitive list of stakeholders before creating the regulations to ensure the correct information gateways are captured in statute." Note the words "attentively", "definitive", and "gateways" which add nothing to the comment. I sense a great deal of bullshit in that press statement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone thinks it worthwhile paying him a salary. Not me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youaintseenme Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 This is great news for the island and hopefully more licenses will follow. Its a progressive move and could actually go some way to making us a centre of excellence in the industry. now hopefully we will see rapid progress on the plans for down by cooil road from Peel Holdings and generate jobs and cash for the construction industry in the short term with more jobs in lots of new areas to follow.

In the early days of the expat boom Dubai used to issue personal alcohol licenses to residents. They were like driving licenses which allowed people to buy a certain amount of alcohol off a licensed off license over a certain period of time. I really have no idea why we are hellbent on licencing the commercial IOM export chain but still doing some poor bloke in Pully for possession of 50p worth of weed. Its just greed and stupidity.

The Phantom Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I am in no way defending the fact he was quite likely impaired at this level; but it does again raise the question of this limit that has been set, that would likely show you as still testing positive days after having a single joint, at which point you would in no way be impaired. If I was 9 times over the drink drive limit, I could barely stand up, yet alone drive a car which is only pulled over it seems due to a defective tail light. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/driving-ban-for-douglas-man-who-had-cannabis-in-his-system/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. But then any showing in your system at all would be illegal and you've ruined my entire point of discussion. Although I don't think it's technically illegal to take drugs. Just to own/sell them etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
