One small step for Ming, One giant leap for Mingkind
Hey keeps trying this stuff and never bothers trying to get cross party support.
Every little helps. It’s gotta happen inevitably
Won’t pass. Common sense isn’t an Irish thing.
I reckon this doesn’t get two minutes dail attention.
As in theory yes proposal works to decriminalise someone for a few gram possession not waste Garda resources and time, on someone with the joint.
But as current gov stands they will refuse this, as it doesn’t fix black market, but it would literally increase people ordering and buying.
So technically it’s worse situation, as gov ATM doesn’t need extra tax money nor they would ever use their time to legalize it.
Good try but , nothing will change here.
He could introduce a bill that would cure cancer and it wouldn’t matter.
He is in the opposition, and the government won’t let an opposition td make laws as important as this. If he wants to actually do things then he should look at going into government after the next election.
I do love the nose ring tho.
Man Gino., if we get Marto, the Leemeister and Mad Mary behind this, we’re sorted, like.
Petition to have a referendum on cannabis legislation let the public decide whether it should remain illegal or become legal.
Government won’t support this so it’s going nowhere.
It’s before the citizens assembly next year so any reform will be done after they make recommendations.
Gino is just looking to get some headlines.
Make Ireland green again
Surprised with this, Gino doesn’t look like a weed consumer.

The large lobby groups in Ireland say no, funny further down someone mentioned how putting this to referendum is stupid, I’d say letting companies have run over a nation isn’t very smart ethier.
That’s a conflict of interests, in my opinion. The lobby wants profit, not social expansion.
Opposition TD it’s just gonna fall flat
He didn’t tho. It’ll never pass. Not with these lot in charge.
good man Gino.
Isn’t Decriminalisation the worst possible route to stop the Black Market?
Even though the Bill is proposed on that premise?
This is a load of Bollox.
up with this sort of thing. If Germany is doing it there’s no reason to wait.
Oh-Oh-Oh Gino
So how long until this passes and possession is no longer a crime?
I cant wait until I pick my strain of green , right now it’s lucky dip.
Just realised he looks exactly like Vinny Perth.
If someone doesn’t open a weed shop called The CraicPipe I’ll be disappointed
There would probably be a Good market for “irish grown weed, especially in america
Imagine all the young voters the gov parties could take of Sinn Fein by letting the bill through.. especially after Germany doing it , there’s no risk in being an outlier. The legislative group in Sinn Fein must be thinking hard about it too, I hate the phrase..”it’s a no brainer” but it is, give the young people what they want. You immediately inject the economy with billions of new revenue from farmers to exporters.
As a casual occasional smoker I’m going to fight that wee group of doctors who pop up arguing against the legislation every fucking time, appearing in the Irish Times talking about children doing weed, which isn’t anything to do with the legislation. I suggest other smokers do their bit, fight them with the overwhelming evidence that legal weed is safer than blackmarket.
Cue the usual cryarsing from FF/FG’s wealthy base claiming that if cannabis were to be made legal, we’d see four year olds smoking it during their lunch break at playschool, which would lead them to becoming full-time heroin junkies robbing the elderly by the time they’re eight.
Won’t somebody please think of the drug dealers!
This bill is going nowhere. And he knows it. The movement toward decriminalisation will only gain momentum when the government (FG and FF) finally decides its time to move. I won’t hold my breath
Free The Weed
“It’s a gateway drug”, looking forward to hearing that rubbish.
Jesus, you can hear the Rosary beads rattling already
