Of course millennials take drugs but we’re not stupid https://t.co/puiWR3txC7 Irish plan to decriminalise aligns with generation’s reality

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

@SeanJDunne @AodhanORiordain Funny how drug services all want decrim (Ana Liphey, Merchants Quay) but you have the authority to doubt their professional experience O.o

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

@SeanJDunne @AodhanORiordain Funny thing is Portugal had a worse problem with drugs than we currently do,w/ 1% addicted to heroin. That changed rapidly since 2001.. Hmm

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

@SeanJDunne @AodhanORiordain We help administer drug checking at UK festivals. 20% of drugs are taken out of circulation. That's decrim working & saving lives

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

@SeanJDunne @AodhanORiordain Prohibition means eroding relationships between youth and the Gardai. Currently, possession is a heavier charge than assault...

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

@SeanJDunne @AodhanORiordain Prohibition means young people downing all their drugs so they don't get caught. Instead of dosing safely

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

@SeanJDunne @AodhanORiordain Prohibition means spreading lies about drugs to instill fear. This means we don't get the education you speak of across to youths

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

@SeanJDunne @AodhanORiordain Young people are forced to group together due to harsh laws, making them reinforce their usage. We need drugs to be out in the open.

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

@SeanJDunne @AodhanORiordain A&E is actually quieter when people aren't admitted in the first place. Decriminalisation causes a reduction in overdose IN THE FIRST PLACE

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

@SeanJDunne @AodhanORiordain Education only works if drugs are destigmatized and young people aren't afraid to talk about drugs. Prohibition erodes families.

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

@SeanJDunne @AodhanORiordain There already is an issue that prohibition has done nothing to fix. In fact, things have only gotten worse. It worked in Portugal.

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

@kenneth_tyndall Interestingly, despite pointing out a huge amount of feedback on medical cannabis gathered, it's not mentioned in the new strategy...

[SSDP Ireland @SSDPIRELAND]

Launch of the new Irish Drugs Strategy happening now.

Every time you take out a drug dealer, you just create an opportunity for promotion to other gang members, usually w/ violence. #DrugPolicy https://t.co/MFeImUNX57

Cambodia's recent drug war initiative has no discernible impact on drug traffic: @UNODC https://t.co/0E9l9vatwF But crackdown will continue.

[Dublin Hemp Museum @dubhempmuseum]

This year Irish farmers will sow 76.45 hectares (188.9 acres) of hemp.

People who use heroin and other drugs don't get offered any dignity in their battle. Giving them dignity is the first step to recovery. https://t.co/KcMjmBymbp

BREAKING NEWS - People hospitalised in Manchester earlier this week were actually sold SPICE and not MDMA. We urgently need drug testing. https://t.co/8TtPT2JTcN
