I’m not going to enjoy this bill getting smashed by bemoaning old fucks
Edit: spelling
Can’t see this getting through but I’d love to be wrong.
Before i commit to voting on this I’d need to know the position of the Catholic Church, they are who I mostly listen to – the people who will sink this
It wont pass but its good to keep trying. You can bet if germany and the usa were getting more draconian on cannabis then the govt would be all over it to follow suit but they wont follow them in the other direction. Having said that the horrible little fascist suella braverman and various tory suck-up police chiefs in the uk want to make cannabis a Class A (on par with heroin and crack) which is Nixon style politics rather than any basis in reality.
In California it’s not uncommon for a dispensary to have the green cross icon out front, much like your pharmacies. Ireland was the first country I visited out of the us, I was definitely confused and disappointed 😂
ELI5: If it’s illegal to distribute, grow and purchase cannabis, how does legalizing personal use work?
I live in a legal state in the US. It took some time to get the laws passed here. It was worth the fight and the wait. I don’t use it, but there’s a lot of benefits.
Not sure who this Bill is, but he sounds like he’s got good ideas.
This will go nowhere! The anti cannabis drug driving legislation was so draconian that I had to stop using as my licence is essential to my work, I couldn’t risk getting charged on a Wednesday for a joint I had on Saturday night!
Hi. If it passes what would this mean for CBD overseas? Will I be able to order CBD flower from the US without having to worry about customs seizing it.
Looking forward to it getting shot down and the drug addicts of r/ireland getting triggered.
I know in my heart it won’t pass but that being said I could see FFG getting on board just for an easy win. Everyone hates them at present but if they could do something positive then people’s views might soften.
Especially as we can see other EU nations going the same way.
If not now its when imo. Its going to happen eventually just a matter of time!
Constant political pressure is the way to go. Cannabis has been bred to serve humanity, it’s addicted to us.
The bill will fail but it doesnt surprise me that junkie gino is proposing it. Im not against some personal use but we have a few other laws to tie up first and the bill will need more reasonable backers
It’d be nice if we could just let the people vote instead of the incompetent dweebs currently in office.
I could quite easily rally the university I’m studying in to get a thousand or so votes, working with the students unions of other colleges your looking at tens of thousands of votes In favour.
And that’s not even including all the regular smokers.
Plastic Paddy here, if the worlds largest mental institution(America) can do so can you. It was not easy but keep fighting.
I don’t really understand politics so this might be a stupid question:.
What would happen if we all emailed our local politicians and said they would lose our vote if they didn’t support the bill?
Please tell me I’m not the only one who read cannibals.
Is there text of the bill yet?
I’m struggling to understand how you change the law that makes possession illegal, without making that legal.
It won’t pass
If only it would pass.
The types who benefit from prohibition are the types of voters that will more than likely vote FFG despite how useless they are, because they favour the status quo, Nimby types also favour the current situation. FFG know they would risk losing these voters in what will be a very tight election so there’s no way they would risk upsetting powerful interests from the medical and policing/justice sectors for the sake of Cannabis, a drug which lots of them especially the older ones despise despite being as ignorant as fuck about it. The whole country is a joke at the moment its just run by ultra conservatives afraid of progress in housing, transport, drugs etc.
Anyone know what SF’s policy is on cannabis reform like this?
