Over half of ‘cannabis’ sweets seized by authorities contain synthetic drug which poses ‘even greater risk’

1. Well then how about we actually do something about it and have a regulated market? Then just like the off-licence you can and will know exactly what’s in it where it came from and have traceability to the source and also well taxes etc. Can’t imagine people are still on the side of the government after the way they still treat people who use drug’s, it’s especially after the fiasco even with the citizens assembly lot’s of people want change and it’s about time.

2. Legalise it, regulate it, tax it.

   There you go, fixed everything for you.

   > FSI said a “sinister” element of the products is that their packaging is alluring to children.

   Much like alcopops, vapes and e-scooters? Well, we did/are regulating to fix that. See how it works?

3. I’m sure harsher punishments for people consuming these sweets and some educational materials about the dangers of drugs will solve this problem, like it always has. /s

4. These synthetics have already caused hospitalisations in Ireland and deaths in the EU. It’s time to give people legal means to access cannabis via homegrow and social clubs. This is a health measure.
