Another pensioner in West Cork prosecuted for growing his own cannabis
Growing a weed plant outdoors in Ireland, you’d be lucky if you pulled 1/2 an Oz per plant. So that’s a potential harvest of 7 Oz from his 14 plants. Considering you can only do one grow a year outdoors, that 7 Oz has to last a whole year. Meaning a supply of about half an Oz per month…Also, it makes sense to plant more than you think you need due to potentially losing some plants to insects, wind damage or mold.
So once again, I don’t think he’s the next Pablo Escobar
Honestly what is with the interest in posting cannabis related content everyday? Genuine question btw
This is always an extreme over estimation. The lad had one or two plants
“What would your doctor say?” Christ it’s like they are utterly ignorant of it being medically available just over the border for a whole host of conditions and in several other countries. You’d swear he was shooting heroin into his eyeballs or ruining his life… judges are either completely out of touch with reality or purposefully using such language to maintain the charade that consuming cannabis is more harmful than a conviction and jail sentencing.
And how likely will be be timely proved medicine to treat his severe pain during his incarceration?
how many people died of alcohol today?
Why not just leave this fella alone , doing no harm to nobody . Yet there’s crime everywhere that they don’t focus on but god help absolute fucking criminal who had probably 2 weed plants in his garden..
How do they even find people like this? Nosey neighbour ratting him out?
I lived in South Africa for over a decade, and when the government realised they were wasting valuable resources arresting and prosecuting people for possession of Dagga, they just decided to do away with it. First they decriminalised having it, then they said everyone can grow their own at home, and as long as you’re not walking around with more than 5g in public you’re good. Anymore will be confiscated and fined.
And suddenly crime went down because cops were focused to more urgent areas and the stigma of Dagga was gone. It’s a really easy logical step and I don’t understand how South Africa got it right and Ireland hasn’t yet.
It’s the only thing that works for nerve pains, that or oxy and they won’t give that in the GP.
So, either sort out the heathcare system or let people manage their own pain.
Gardai say there was enough plants to make 37 million cannabis cigarettes.
The excessive weed posting needs to be moderated. It’s legitimately multiple times a day, always from the same accounts. The law is archaic, we get it. Posting on here isn’t going to generate discussion as this demographic overwhelmingly agrees with you. Conversely, when someone does bring up a valid counterpoint against cannabis it just gets downvoted into oblivion.
Chasing pensioners with pain management issues for a few vastly over valued hash plants, while there’s a huge issue with cocaine, heroin and various new hard drugs with major consequence.
Our laws are getting this upside down and backwards.
So, 1 plant then, using Garda sums.
Keep posting until it’s decriminalised lol, like that’ll ever happen; we’re a 3rd world nation wearing 1st world rags
