Reply to comment by Haitchyy in Ireland Aims To Legalize Cannabis For Personal Use by seebz69

No it won't. They aren't looking at commercialising or legalising the sale or production. They're only looking at making personal possession something that won't end up in being arrested. You still couldn't buy it legally. Just not be jailed if caught with a little

No they aren't, this is just another doomed bill by a small opposition party that will never see the light of day. The headline is complete bullshit.

The headline says legalise while not being arrested would be decriminalisation.

Oh OK sorry haha. I misinterpreted the comment. Yeah in places like Amsterdam you are allowed to smoke weed in coffee shops and at home. I found it so odd when smoking ban came in years ago and you could openly roll up weed but not tobacco lol. People still did it but it was like bud sitting on the table and tobacco under the table to be added sneakily

To be fair in practise it's already practically legalised in Ireland. I lived there for a few years, everyone and their nan knew where to get weed, and unless you were either carrying a kilo or being a real dick the gardai rarely gave a shit.

Must be dependant on area or social circles as I've been here a year in rural Ireland and have no idea where to get any lol

Weeds are often found growing up amongst onions mate, if you know what I mean.

Haha I don't know anyone here in rural carlow. Literally no friends and I've been here a year. I do notice when I go to carlow Town that there's def a lot of tokers about. I can recognise them when I see them but no way would I ever accost a random stranger 🤣. Have thought about asking my barber though before
