Drugs Reform Ireland

Legalisation of cannabis in Ireland for medicinal & adult use. End prohibition of all substances. Reduce harm, save lives.#CannabisReformIreland

Albert Einstein could see the fundamental flaws of prohibition. It's harmful for the country's citizens and governments are not thanked for it. Criminal gangs love it. It's time for change @MichealMartinTD @FrankFeighan

Stopping people cycling, taking less than 1gr of cannabis from them and bringing them to court to be convicted is what our Gardaí are spending their time on, supported by the Government.

Opposition parties need to start speaking up.

@Rubberbandits The Citizens assembly model in Irl is being watched & discussed by other jurisdictions as an impressive model for democratic policy making. I am so disappointed with this response. Disrespectful to the hundreds of people investing time in the process.

This short video by @julianbuchanan sums it up perfectly 👍

Drugs are already here (he talks about New Zealand but Ireland is no different)

People always have & will use drugs (alcohol, cocaine, cannabis, caffeine, psychedelics etc)

Prohibition maximizes the dangers of drugs

[Julian Buchanan, PhD @julianbuchanan]

Legalising drugs isn't about introducing a drug - they are here already - unregulated, underground and with unknown quality and content

Our sincere thanks for all the messages of support for our beautiful Ava we are broken hearted now and beyond grateful for the love expressed for our darling. We wish to appeal for privacy from all media outlets at this very difficult time.

To truly put people's safety first, all drugs should be legalised & regulated. It sounds an extreme measure to some, but we know people always have & will use drugs. Why have some drugs legal and others illegal? Is it fair to dictate to people what drugs they can and cannot use?

@TweeterReynolds How many lives will have been lost in those 7 years. Someones son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister...... it's tragic 😪

There can be no doubt that if production and supply of #cannabis was legally regulated, everyone in Ireland would be safer. The evidence is unequivocal. #CADrugsUse

[Drugs Reform Ireland @DrugsRefIreland]

While this is a welcome move, perhaps lifting the ban on other drugs that actually have health benefits, such as cannabis and psychedelics, would do a lot more for people's health.

A friendly guide to making a submission to #CADrugsUse

This is such an important conversation, I encourage everyone to make a submission.
Short and simple submissions with a personal story (if applicable) work best, you don't need a degree on this issue to have a voice.

[Drugs Reform Ireland @DrugsRefIreland]

@TweeterReynolds @BobbySmyth4 @MarycannonMary @WalleyRay @IMO_IRL Very well written letter. So many of the current issues around cannabis are indeed a result of cannabis prohibition. And unless things change, those problems won't go anywhere. A properly legalised and regulated market would drastically improve what we currently have.

Reminder... Stop and search powers are one of the most widely abused powers, disproportionately targets certain socio-economic groups, and results in overpolicing of underprivileged areas.

1/5 #CADrugsUse More evidence emerges of secret, behind closed doors work by @paulreiddublin in setting up the #citizensassembly. A press release has been issued this morning announcing a 'Lived Experience Group'. This has been formed without any transparency, without inviting...

I don’t mind rude comments, I get them everyday, that’s social media. Do me a favor though, don’t tell me how to run my life. I enjoy #Cannabis & so do many others. Who is with me!?!? #CannabisCommunity #Mmemberville #Weed

[TheJournal.ie @thejournal_ie]

Coming up after midnight, @EoghanDalton reports on an unexpected intervention over the Citizens' Assembly on drugs, amid allegations that the Assembly has been blanketed in 'secrecy' ahead of its first session.

[Irish Medical Times @IMT_latest]

A Citizen’s Assembly has been called to discuss how Ireland should deal with the (illegal) drugs issue, but what do you think?

We’ve put together a short survey which is open to doctors practising in Ireland only.

IRELAND. Shocking bias from @RTERadio1 broadcasting this drug war doctor notorious for his regressive opinion. A grave disservice to the Irish people. Why not interview a consultant psychiatrist prescribing #cannabis for mental health conditions? #CADrugsUse

[Crainn @r_crainn]

Germany are leading the way with #CannabisReformEU.

Have Irish Ministers been keeping an eye on this? We're going to be dead last.

[@natalieoregan.bsky.social @NatalieORegan1]

I am one of many names who signed this open letter last week. There are severe transparency issues surrounding the Assembly to date, and clarity should be given before it begins.
