Ireland: Government should introduce | How to order Skittles Moonrock online

In particular, the report  urges the Government to take steps to introduce a regulatory model for certain illicit drugs, particularly referencing cannabis as an option.

It says that this should be considered in line with how other EU countries have regulated cannabis, including in Spain and Germany. The committee says that it could be set up on a not-for-profit, regulated basis.

Committee chairman, People Before Profit TD Gino Kenny, said that it could be similar to how countries operate cannabis clubs — where cannabis is cultivated on a not-for-profit basis and members of clubs are able to purchase limited amounts of the drug.

Mr Kenny said that other countries are moving towards a similar model, but that it could also allow for legalisation and sale of cannabis on a wider basis.

There are also calls made to expand out the Medical Cannabis Access Programme, to allow more people with chronic illnesses can access cannabis.

The report itself, which contains 59 recommendations, calls for the Government to implement a health-led approach, alongside decriminalisation of the person in relation to possession of illicit drugs for personal use.

“It’s important that this is implemented,” said Mr Kenny, adding that it was his hope that parties in the upcoming election would call for decriminalisation in a future government.

“Hopefully a programme for government would have a clause around a health-led approach,” he added.
