  1. “I also have 16 lesions in my brain and 14 on my spine,” Sean says. “When I move my neck in a certain way, and put a bit of pressure on one of the lesions, it sends out an electric shock and it is like sticking your finger in a plug socket”

    Disgusting that he can’t access adequate medical cannabis.

  2. The biggest challenge for legalising cannabis is that those to the fore of the movement are able to publicly declare their wish without it affecting their jobs, but there’s thousands of professionals who want legalisation, but are in jobs where they can’t express that publicly. Lots of these people would be really good at organising the movement and effectively lobbying decision makers too.

    Instead, the image of the movement is predominantly made of lads and ladies who look like stoners – I hate saying saying that, because it’s archaic bullshit, but like, it’s true. Also, at like any of the big pro weed meetups and protests, they’re making a load of valid points about the health benefits and tax benefits and Garda resources benefits and making weed safer, which are all great, but like, it gets undermined when they’ve got a giant like, leaf blower blazing out a giant cloud of weed smoke…

    I dunno, I just want Germany to vote it to be legal and that to set off a hair of domino’s that reaches us here swiftly.

  3. Am I the only one reading article, the two guys mentioned sound like they literally been driven over, sure enough they should have access to weed in such cases, but I doubt there’s many people like that around for it to be a case, plus on top of weed to become ever legal it won’t ever be a case where you smoke a joint and go around driving a lorry or doing something important, as good example is US they have weed legal, but they fire most people, and literally test in almost every job for drugs constantly.

    So idk why the fck there’s ramble I need cannabis and also I’m afraid to lose my license job, as literally that’s the only outcome.

    Now I’m not stupid and cannabis usually wears off after 8hrs, but who’s to regulate if it ever becomes legal that person wouldn’t decide to smoke and then do something while under the influence.

    Anyway no point debating people like that sure if your body is that bad might as well use whatever works for them, but don’t see a day in Ireland in next ten years where you buy weed and all is well happening, as actually not against weed being legal, but we’re talking of Ireland, booze is still not sold here on Sunday’s after morning, which basically tells it all.

  4. After a couple of years of 100% legalisation here in Canada, I can tell you that Cannabis has lost the stigma and stereotypes.

    My boss and I openly talk about which edibles we take to help us sleep.

    Teenage use has dropped almost in half.

    The quality is phenominal and you don’t have to worry about what is being added by a third party.

    We have a cannabis shop on almost every corner with a liquor store.

    I’m certain the EU will move on this. It doesn’t make sense not to.
