A positive THC test at the roadside doesn't diagnose impairment and yet drivers are losing their licences for cannabis use that may have been days old or longer. 

Hundreds of drug driving prosecutions are in limbo as lawyers and gardaí await a judgment in the High Court.

Taoiseach's views on cannabis are nonexistent. It’s rare indeed for politicians who rely on the electorate’s vote to support making things/behaviours that are already illegal, legal, unless they know for sure that the public supports change.

Public representatives need to be consistent then we can bring an end to the madness of prohibition. A bottom up people’s movement for change needed.

@haikubot Legal cannabis sales have begun in New York & the revenue from Cannabis sales will be invested back into the communities that need it most. How long more do people think we've to wait until we see a moment like this in Ireland?

The Irish government are needlessly risking the health of Irish citizens. Prohibition only helps the drug cartels boost their profits with unregulated cannabis.

Leo Varadkar has "no view" on the legalisation of cannabis and says it will be left to a Citizens' Assembly.

Due to the zero tolerance approach to cannabis levels, it is scientifically possible that even passive smoking could result in you being over the legal limit in blood.

The THC concentration in blood also does not correlate to impairment directly. It’s different for people of different height, weight, lifestyle and age, and they will process THC at different speeds. Some could take weeks or even up to 3-4 months to drop below the legal limit.

Festival Drug testing 💊 for users now evidenced to also work in 🇦🇺
why are politicians (funded 💸 by big pharma) so resistant to accepting a approach that's proven to save lives?
Wait.. is that a silly 🙃question?

Here in Aotearoa we realised that:

Criminalising sexual preference was wrong;

Criminalising people who attempt suicide was wrong;

Criminalising abortion was wrong;

Criminalising sex work was wrong.

We need to realise that criminalising drugs is wrong.

Incremental approaches to drug policy aren't sufficient.

The scale and scope of the problem is too vastly broken to take such a 'baby-step' approach.

Politicians speaking on drug policy failures will always be welcome/celebrated, but we need more with the courage to present actual alternatives & solutions.

We must decriminalise, regulate and educate!
