The 66 year-old British rock star, who was convicted of possessing narcotics in the 1960s, suggested a trial scheme should be carried out on the island “to see what happens”.
In an interview on American television, Sir Mick urged officials to legalise cannabis only on the island, and only for a limited time, to test whether such a ban would work.
“The whole question of legalising drugs is fraught,” Sir Mick told the Larry King Live show on CNN.
“You usually try these things out in very small places. You know, like you try a new product out in a small kind of society or an island somewhere.
"In England they always try out new mobile phones in the Isle of Man. They've got a captive society. So I said, you should try – you should try the legalisation of all drugs on the Isle of Man and see what happens."
Sir Mick, who is now known for his fitness rather than recreational drug use, insisted his proposal would help prevent violent crime that is normally associated with narcotics trade.
He said young people would always experiment with substances despite the obvious negative side effects.
"Human beings seem to have a propensity to want to take drugs in some form.
“It seems to be the propensity of human beings to want to use them. I think you have to take that as read, you know.
"But then what do you do when it affects so many people's lives, and not in a good way? And then also you get a lot of violence at both ends of the scope. So you get violence in some countries."
"That's the part that speaks to some sort of legalisation. Because that, you would hope, would help the violence from both ends of the supply line."
Sir Mick admitted his amphetamine conviction in 1967, quashed later on appeal, still caused him problems when travelling through America.
Sir Mick this week attended the Cannes Film Festival for a special screening of Stones in Exile, a documentary about the making of the Rolling Stones 1972 album Exile on Main Street.

Funk and R&B singer Betty Davis was influenced by close friends like Jimi Hendrix and her ex-husband, jazz legend Miles Davis. In 1975, visionary music mogul Chris Blackwell signed her to his Island Records label, which released her groundbreaking album Nasty Gal; it's just been reissued on CD.
Davis' sexy growl conjures images of her the way she looked onstage in the '70s — thigh-high silver boots, hot pants, massive afro. Davis was Sly Stone, Mick Jagger and The Jimi Hendrix Experience all rolled into one woman. Sly Stone bassist Larry Graham once said that, although Davis didn't play anything, her mind, body and spirit were her instruments. In this album's title track, you can hear that her singing doesn't just represent a voice; it's a supernatural force she's using to break social conventions, push funk to the extreme and propel herself as an artist.Funk and R&B singer Betty Davis was influenced by close friends like Jimi Hendrix... more

The Daily Mail today reports that "sweet" Sweet Georgia May Jagger, daughter of musician Mick Jagger and model Jerry Hall, "has inherited her father's famous lips and her model mother's stunning figure as she stepped out in a bikini while holidaying in France."
Er, Daily Mail, you're pointing that telephoto lens at a child on a beach. Wrong much?

It has emerged in a retrospective FBI radio show that rubber-lipped Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger nearly got taken out by the notorious Hells Angels, following a dispute over security at the infamous 1969 Altamont Speedway Free Concert. The assassination plot was only foiled after the would-be assailants boat got swamped in a storm.
The row started after the Angels stabbed and kicked an 18-year-old black girl to death, Meredith Hunter allegedly had a firearm in the concert, but her death shocked the Stones and forced Jagger to reassess his 'security' choices.
The Angels allegedly became so infuriated by Jagger's treatment that they decided that killing him –– launching a surprise attack from the sea, to be precise –– was the only option. But, the boat embarked on stormy seas sending all of the Angels overboard and the plot was then scrapped.
Apparently, Jagger was never told of the plot... until now...It has emerged in a retrospective FBI radio show that rubber-lipped Rolling Stones... more
