The longer I work in psychiatry The more & more I am reminded that poverty is one of the most harmful factors (if not the most harmful factor) affecting peoples' mental health

We're here in London battling the weather to raise awareness five years on from medical cannabis being available to prescribe. Children and their families are forgotten. Please ⁦@10DowningStreet⁩ it's time you sort this failed policy! #westandwithyou@MedcanFamily

I had a dream last night that petrol was €1.11 per litre. Some might call it a wet dream…which is so sad on multiple levels but sadly so true.

Same goes for our sorry excuse for an MCAP program. I’m so broken hearted to see so many families suffer & bury loved ones when it’s preventable 😭 we need safe access for all and we need it now 💔 where is the appetite for truly helping society?! 😭
Hannah Deacon@Hannah_Deacon40

Today marks 5 years since the change in law. Policy has failed to enact the law in allowing access to medical cannabis for so many children like Alfie. Please support and sign the petition (link in bio), and I'll be updating on the campaign over the coming days and weeks.

@chat_annie @RTEUpfront @KatieGHannon A reform of your education perhaps. Cigs & alcohol are a free for all & those who don’t want to simply don’t use them. Cannabis will be the same & those who partake will do so safely. It’s only criminal because of a backward law. Law needs to change.

@AimeeLouB @RTEUpfront @KatieGHannon A reform of that system perhaps. Making it a free for all does not work and it will lead to an increase in use, because as it stands the criminal element does prevent cannabis use.

@chat_annie @RTEUpfront @KatieGHannon We already have that system yet 1000s of patients don’t qualify for the restricted program. Leaving them to source medication in a dangerous market. Social clubs cut out the danger and require ID preventing underage access. It makes sense.

@chat_annie @r_crainn Did you not hear the woman in the audience who was literally born into addiction? Traumatized by policies? She cited that 90% of addiction is a trauma response. Policies are traumatising people into addiction, drugs are a symptom, not a cause!

@r_crainn They are. They're breaking the law. A law they know that's there. If that's the case let's decriminalise assaults and vandalism committed under the influence of substances.

Fair play to Lynn Ruane. The audacity of that Gardaí to roll his eyes at her is sickening. #RTÉUpfront

There's been so much highlighted the past 2 days about the uncertainty that members of the #CADrugsUse faced when voting for recommendations that there must be a call for transparency. As someone who shared a lived experience perspective, I feel robbed of democracy @drugscrisis

Following recommendations made by the Citizens' Assembly, a group of cross-party TDs and Senators are calling for "radical change" to Irish drug policy. The group includes politicians from Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, the Greens, Labour, People Before Profit and an independent.

@r_crainn They stopped the concerns raised about forgotten patients bcos MCAP is already an established program yet they discussed methadone which is also already established. Complete contradiction & then hid behind the terms of ref argument. #hypocrisy

A weak explanation given to the Assembly as to why they didn't get to hear about medical cannabis. Apparently it is already legal. There are thousands of people using medical cannabis illicitly because of our current drug legislation. #CADrugsUse

@RTEUpfront As a cannabis patient with a prescription in Ireland, I had to go on tinder while in Portugal to access my medicine. Not one bit safe. Irish farmers supplying Irish social clubs would cut out the need to source from gangs & make it safer for everyone.

"They don't have this madness" Former Assistant Garda Commissioner Michael O'Sullivan says the Portuguese model for decriminalising drugs is unable to work in Ireland due to the extent of the criminal networks here. #RTÉUpfront
