Our submission covered:

✅ The need for a real health-led approach.

✅ Regulation of drugs such as cannabis.

✅ Expungement of all drug-use related criminal records.

✅ The discriminatory nature of stop and search powers.

And much more.

What is HHC?

About 20% of our subreddit users reported using HHC earlier this month.

What exactly is it, and are there any risks?

[IDPC @IDPCnet]

🥇 The 'gold standard' of #DrugDecriminalisation is the removal of all punishment on people who use drugs, coupled w/ adequate health & #harmreduction provisions.

📚 How do we get there? Check out the '#DrugDecrim [e]Course': https://t.co/7oM02ylTLs

There isn't a single sensible reason for the continuation of cannabis prohibition.

Legalise cannabis in Ireland.

[PsychedelicsEUROPE @PsychedelicsEU]

💊EMA Chief Medical Officer acknowledges difficulties in EU approval process for psychedelics. Globally, many promising phase I-III psychedelic trials exist, most outside EU. Happy to see EU key players taking note of this imbalance. Hope this will spill over into member states.

The review of Ireland's Medical Cannabis Access Program is due to finish up at some stage next month.

Cannabis is medicine. Expand MCAP.

"Survey finds that a majority of doctors in the U.S. do, in fact, support medical marijuana legalization."

Meawhile in Thailand where the sale of cannabis is legal...

[Martin's World Podcast @MartinsWorld420]

Got a nice surprise today when my fiance surprised me with this cake to celebrate being 1 year seizure free thanks to illegally medicating with Cannabis. Lets hope by year 2 it will no longer be illegal for me and many others who use cannabis as a medicine #CannabisReformIreland

[Harm Reduction International @HRInews]

“Framing drug use and dependency as a disease instead of a criminal offence .. does not automatically do away with control or social stigma. We’re simply swapping one type of moralising with another.” - Judy Chang @INPUD #HR23 #StrengthInSolidarity #HarmReduction

[Gerard Roe @GerRayRoe]

Great piece by @MayorMontague. The medical professionals willful ignorance to the wider harms of drug prohibition makes them complicit in the destruction of our communities and our overburdened penal and health systems. #EndProhibition

[Peter Reynolds @TweeterReynolds]

The police are giving out free cannabis vapes. Working alongside advocacy group @Cancard_UK, the forces are trialling a new scheme to reduce the smell of #cannabis in social housing. #drugspolicy https://t.co/kfRxb4k6z0

[UISCE @myuisce]

Getting ready for the @CitizAssembly on #CADrugsUse with one of our peer groups. #livingexperience #closethegap #allinittogether #peers #partnership #change

[Crainn @r_crainn]

Informed thread by an expert in the field. Well worth a read.

The 2022 Oireachtas Report on Drugs took a holistic set of submissions, and came out with strong, evidence-based recommendations.

The #CADrugsUse should read and consider carefully.

[UCD SSDP @ucdssdp]

@r_crainn @caaireland @MartinsWorld420 we had an amazing time with everyone!

[Crainn @r_crainn]

Great turn out at St. Stephen's Green Park to show support for legalising cannabis, and to protest peacefully!

The suffering under cannabis prohibition needs to end.

[Crainn @r_crainn]

Very cool opportunity to be on the Irish Canna Clinic video series on #Cannabis discussing the #CADrugsUse.

Give the interview a listen and subscribe to his channel. @IrishCanna
