+# Isle of Man: early regulations and custodial sentencing — 26 October 2026
+
+Read DATA-MAINTENANCE, WRITING and BOOKS. The inherited timeline had no event
+between the estimated 1925 first restriction and the 2018 medical rescheduling:
+93 years. Adding the operative 1930 regulations and a documented 1978 appeal
+reduces the largest interval to 48 years (1930–1978).
+
+## Sources actually examined
+
+- Downloaded both complete original Tynwald circulars: GC1256 (five PDF pages)
+  and GC1258 (one page). Read the extracted text, including prescriptions,
+  record-keeping, definitions, schedules and commencement. Visually inspected
+  GC1256 PDF p.2 (possession, professional authority and locked storage) and
+  GC1258 in full. Both explicitly commence on 1 January 1930. GC1256's heading
+  appears to say 27 December, while its cover and signature say 17 December;
+  this discrepancy does not affect the explicit operative date.
+- GC1256 covers extracts/tinctures of Indian hemp alongside other dangerous
+  drugs. Regulations 1–3 require authority for manufacture, supply and possession;
+  3(2) gives possession authority for lawful prescriptions/dispensing; 5–6 provide
+  professional/shop authority; 8–9 prescribe form and dispensing safeguards;
+  11 requires registers; 14 sets two-year document retention; 18 commences and
+  repeals the 1923 and 1926 regulations. Legal authority for a medicine is not
+  evidence of particular products stocked, patients treated or efficacy.
+- GC1258 extends the Raw Opium Regulations 1923 to Indian hemp, resin and
+  resin-based preparations, except extracts/tinctures; separate registers;
+  repeals the 1928 Coca Leaves and Indian Hemp Regulations. The underlying
+  1923 raw-opium rules were not recovered: do not invent their detailed offences
+  or penalties. Neither 1930 order is claimed as the first cannabis restriction.
+- Downloaded Peter W. Edge, Manx Public Law (Isle of Man Law Society, 1997),
+  electronic edition prepared 2011, from the Oxford Brookes author repository.
+  Examined title/copyright/contents; read printed pp.242–243, PDF250–251.
+  Visually verified p.242's year, one-month sentence and Mandryk footnote 7.
+  The 1978 entry cites Edge's account of the judgments, not original cases we
+  have read. Ward (1978) is a corroborating lead, not a separate dated event.
+  Barlow's report span [1981–3] and Buchanan's [1990–2] are not exact decision
+  years. No events are invented from those ranges. Chapter/catalogue coverage
+  records only the selected pages, not the full chapter/book.
+
+Public source URLs are recorded in the entries/article. Complete PDFs and
+extracted text remain in ignored local storage; the book is catalogued under
+`edge-manx-public-law-1997`.
+
+## Open leads and dating limits
+
+The original 1923 and 1926 Acts, 1928 hemp regulations and Raw Opium Regulations
+1923 remain targets. A later repealer proves earlier regulations existed but
+cannot establish the island's first cannabis restriction or its commencement.
+Keep the 1925 estimate pending that research. A newspaper account found in search
+confuses the 1912/1925 treaty history and is not used as legal evidence.
+
+Tynwald's archive HTML and public JavaScript were inspected to locate the
+1920–1929 document block (ID125) and actual public sharepoint-query endpoint.
+Both direct public-query attempts returned 503, including the exact index.php
+endpoint with session/CSRF handling. Modern 1976 consolidated legislation failed
+through direct download and the web tool (502/TLS/reset/HTML responses); its
+amended contents are not backdated to 1976. Guernsey's 1974 consolidation was
+opened as a parallel lead: commencement depends on an ordinance, still to retrieve.
+
+## Scope and scores
+
+Two entries and one article. The 1930 orders consolidate/replace existing controls;
+the 1978 decision applies a custodial policy Edge says already existed. Neither
+establishes a newly introduced whole-segment change. Existing `before` vectors,
+country scores and profile bytes are preserved. The inherited timeline does not
+yet reconstruct when short custody gave way to today's usual fines; finding the
+actual policy change remains necessary before scoring that transition.
+
+## Validation
+
+Article: 417 words, four sections, all three listed sources cited inline.
+Baseline comparison preserves every existing event object and the country profile
+byte for byte. History and answer/profile test suites pass; book report freshness
+and inventory check pass. Isle of Man chain: zero flagged steps; triage: zero open
+entries. Production build passes (4,293 pages). Browser checks confirm the article,
+references, linked 1978 entry and both additions in the country History tab.
+History JSON/CSV exports contain both new records. Only this pass is committed;
+concurrent Greece/history/source-archive work is preserved separately.
