The Misuse of Drugs Act can go fuck itself.
End Our Pain@End_Our_Pain

Karen’s daughter faced a heartbreaking situation when she was denied access to any cannabis-based medication. In a desperate bid for relief, she had no choice but to undergo brain surgery yesterday before even having the opportunity to try a potentially life-changing treatment. @wesstreeting This tragic outcome highlights the urgent need for reform in accessing medicinal cannabis. Patients should not have to endure such extreme measures when alternative treatments are available. We must advocate for better access to cannabis-based therapies to prevent more families from facing similar crises. What is your MP doing to help people in urgent need of NHS access? #endourpain

Why does @GardaTraffic feel the need to waste over €2500 of tax payers money to bring a woman to court for €5 of cannabis? Where is the “health-led” approach being used here? In matter of fact, where has common sense been used here? Absolute abuse of power and the discrimination here & its absolutely sickening. Maybe its time AGS stop harassing people for cannabis & start clearing up actual crime.

People are dying , people are being imprisoned , people are having lives and careers ruined while we hear empty statements of empty promises. We need commitment, action and implementation.

All people jailed for minor drug offences should be released immediately and have their convictions expunged #GE24 #CorkSouthCentral

Fine Gael's Helen McEntee tells Virgin Media that Fine Gael will not decriminalise cannabis or drug use if they get into Government. Not a single vote vote for FG if you support evidence based drugs policy.

Whatever the outcome in terms of next programme for Gov The political conversation about drug reform has demonstrably changed in Ireland Huge credit to people like Senator Lynn Ruane, @AodhanORiordain and @Ginosocialist who've been utterly central to this change

This is welcome to see from @sinnfeinireland @FineGael will now likely sit alone alongside the far right in the Oireachtas in repudiating the recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly & Joint Oireachtas Committee Harris has screwed over FG people who've worked on this #GE24

@r_crainn Simon Harris is a science denier! We must vote out all politicians who do not believe in science

There are zero benefits to criminalising people who use drugs, it does not deter or decrease drug use, what it does is increase harms & waste resources. Way past time to end the moral judgement policy & put in place a policy based on analysis and evidence.
Paul McAuliffe TD@PaulMcauliffe

It's decriminalisation of the person as per the Joint Oireachtas Committee Report, which includes your FG colleagues. It's what the Citizens Assembly endorsed, along with many many people who deal with those in addiction. It's a health led approach. @drugscrisis @tonyduffin @paulreid.

@MichealLehane Anybody who drinks alcohol or smokes cigarettes should have to attend treatment or education programmes. See how fucking stupid that sounds?

@MichealLehane But according to @Prof_Jo_Ivers of @tcddublin, 90% of all drug use is without harm to the user or wider society, so what is the point of "treatment or education"? Is this to be compulsory? What for?

@r_crainn Absolutely shocking. I hope she gets the help she needs after enduring the shock of witnessing the horrific spectacle of a monetary transaction being carried out on our streets. Thoughts and prayers.

Fine Gael councillor says 'legalising cannabis is not a good idea' She said she has concerns after witnessing a drug deal in her local town Legalising cannabis would stop street-level dealing, though... southeastradio.ie/legalising-can…
