People in Jersey are being asked about their views on the use of recreational cannabis, after the government said it would look into the future of policies and legislation.
The online survey will help to inform changes to rules and regulations here.
Health Minister Tom Biney says we want to ensure Islanders have the opportunity to share their views on recreational cannabis policy, and this survey is an important part of that.
"Understanding public opinion will allow the Assembly to ensure that any future decisions are informed by the views of Islanders.
"I’d encourage everyone to take a few minutes to have their say."
In November 2025, politicians will debate, again, whether the laws should change around non-medical cannabis.
But, for now, the government wants islanders' opinions to see how tame or drastic the changes should be.
It follows a major debate in June 2024, where States Members voted against the legalisation of cannabis by a margin.
They voted 22 in favour, 23 against Deputy Tom Coles's request that the personal possession and recreational use of cannabis should be decriminalised for persons aged 18 and over.
Constable Karen Shenton-Stone abstained, and three States members were absent for the vote.

However, the government did say it would look into the future use of cannabis in Jersey, which is materialising this year.
Islanders are encouraged to complete the survey online. They can also sign up to attend a focus group meeting.
The consultation end on 11 July.
