  1. FG will say no. And they will call it a compromise for the next coalition.

  2. Ah yeah go on so the young voters are sure to fall for this one

  3. Are they just going to decriminalise drug possession for use at manifesto launches? Makes sense, I guess.

  4. Are we supposed to have forgotten that not too long ago they were touting their laughable adult caution scheme as “decriminalization”?

    We’re literally 2 decades behind on this at this point. Other countries setting up their legal cannabis markets while we were stuck with this lot.

  5. This frustrates the fuck out of me. That they just throw around these promises, and we all know there’s next to no chance in reality this will actually happen.

    I _hope_ I’m wrong ofc, but Christ 🙄

  6. It’s just not decrim. By any objective analysis it’s not decrim.

    It has mandatory re-education and treatment and it doesn’t say what happens if you don’t go to them.

    It just adds an extra step before criminalisation.

    Newspapers should face fines for misleading headlines. Especially political ones during a fuckcing election.

  7. I’ll take “things that will never happen” for 100.

  8. Don’t fall for it. They also said a lot of things they would do over the last 90+ years and didn’t do 90% of it

  9. Two faced lying bustids. Kicked the can and said nothing of it despite the CA. Now want my vote. Go. And. Feck. Yerself.

  10. lol …. They will in their HOLE.

    Also: no point acting softly softly on personal possession if you’re riding people at roadside checkpoints with insane testing thresholds that test for use generally, rather than inebriation. The current thresholds are, in effect, a method of stopping people from ever using it at all.

  11. It’s hilarious that this “promise” gets trotted out every election, and seemingly in other countries too

    I honestly can’t believe it’s taken the rest of Europe so long to follow the US – it’s clearly a massive market

    (I know for the UK a certain Tories husband wouldn’t want it legalised because it would end their export monopoly, but not sure that’s the case in Ireland)
