  1. Hold fast lads, the experts are finally using words the government might actually understand.

  2. Can it be my turn to post an article about cannabis for the 6pm slot?

  3. It’s ridiculous. A lot of the Gardai, judges, solicitors and politicians that are there to uphold and enforce these stupid laws take drugs themselves regularly.

    The stigma attached is so backwards.

  4. It’s 2024, and it’s astonishing that even America has de-scheduled cannabis. It’s evident that numerous TDs and government officials are influenced by pharmaceutical companies and alcohol suppliers, particularly Diageo. There is no doubt that this is happening, and it’s not a baseless conspiracy theory. If anyone has watched the Citizens’ Assembly or followed the Oireachtas’ previous meetings on the subject, they would see that Paul Reid and his associates have a significant bias. They continuously push the narrative of harm reduction, despite experts presenting fact after fact that contradicts their stance. They refuse to budge on their position. Moreover, it’s absurd that the Gardaí have an opinion on this matter. As public servants, they shouldn’t have a say. One would expect them to support legalization, but unfortunately, they are equally resistant.
