Make Ireland Green

Ireland demands Cannabis reform.

Rest in peace sweetheart 💚 you have changed this world for the better and left a permanent mark.

We have been told we have the adult caution scheme, we have been told we have health referrals..

Where are they ? Why is €30 worth of cannabis ending up in court.

[Crainn @r_crainn]

Very disheartening to see young people still being dragged through the courts for having tiny amounts of drugs for their own use at Electric Picnic '22.

The Gardaí are enforcers of a socially corrosive policy. Government should not have them in this position.

[Dr Órfhlaith Campbell @drorfh]

The difference between today & yesterday is THE question that needs answered. Do we implement emphatic and human rights focused changed or to we protect the status quo and the system of criminalisation used to protect the apparatus of the state...

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.

Its clear watching #CADrugsUse that the 99 members are on the ball.

So many interested in regulating drugs, and keeping people safe!

#Ireland | @thejournal_ie poll "Do you think #Drugs should be decriminalised?" https://t.co/oIUlLhKCXz

(Screenshot taken today, approx. 10.33am. Shame the colours on pie chart aren't identical to the ones in the key! Still though, clear majority voting for #Decrim/#Legalisation)

[Crainn @r_crainn]

75% support reform.

Prohibitionists are a very vocal minority.

[Peter Reynolds @TweeterReynolds]

IRELAND. This week @IrishTimes has chosen to publish a letter from 21 professionals opposing #cannabis reform and ignore a letter from 44 professionals supporting it. Newspapers don't have to be fair and balanced. The Irish people should know how they are being misled #CADrugUse

[Crainn @r_crainn]

Another 'Cannabis Risk Alliance' activist appearing on national media as an expert voice.

No proper balance or professional counter provided.

This view does not represent any medical consensus.

The study mentioned in the Irish Times contains data up to 2019/2020. The more recent Red C poll below gives an accurate picture of the support for reform. There has been a huge shift in consensus on this issue in the last 3 years.

[Crainn @r_crainn]

More than delighted to have signed on to this open letter to the Citizens' Assembly, stressing the need to legalise drugs.

Thanks @ucdssdp for putting this together, it will make a difference.

[Peter Reynolds @TweeterReynolds]

STUDY. Legalisation of #cannabis leads to reductions in crime, traffic fatalities, suicides, mental illness, alcohol and tobacco consumption. Large reduction in hospital admissions for alcohol and no increase in underage cannabis use. #drugspolicy https://t.co/i1arsVVjS2

[UCD SSDP @ucdssdp]

we have posted our Open Letter to the CA office now that we've got support from so many groups!
#CADRUGS #LEGALISE

[@natalieoregan.bsky.social @NatalieORegan1]

Look at those numbers! The public is so far ahead on this issue.

[Crainn @r_crainn]

Only 31% of the public opposed legalising cannabis for adult-use in today's Red C poll.

Time to legalise cannabis in Ireland.
