Free Tuesday?
Barrister and legal academic Niall Neligan will be giving a lecture on Cannabis Regulation in the AV room of the Oireachtas between 12 -1pm next Tuesday, July 10 to help launch (Irish cannabis advocate group) Fweed’s Public policy document entitled A 21st Century Approach to Regulating Cannabis.
Mr Neligan, of the law department at Dublin Institute of technology (DIT), has previously helped the succesful campaign by Vera Twomey top obtain medicinal cannabis for her daughter Ava, a sufferer of Dravets Syndrome.
Update:
The first hard copies of a 21st Century approach to Regulating Cannabis have arrived in advance of the formal launch in the Irish parliament on Tuesday.

It’s a great title. Arrogant almost. It says ‘get with the times, man’. Every report should be ‘a 21st Century approach to…..’.
I think it is highlighting the fact that we need to drag these oul lads who are running the place forward.
Change is baaaad for them remember…
“these oul lads” – you are referring to the doctors?
Are doctors running the place? No, I’m talking about “key policy makers across the political spectrum” but doctors can be oul lads too I suppose.
Ah. Brian Cowen strikes again – he was the minister that made all the following schedule 1 drugs – and prohibited them even for medical use:
Cannabinol, except where contained in cannabis or cannabis resin.
Cannabinol derivatives.
Cannabis and cannabis resin.
see: Misuse of Drugs (Designation) Order 1998 (S.I. No. 69 of 1998)
I’d go, but, …whatever…..
Only one social class, almost without exception, goes to prison for drug offences. That tells you everything you need to need to know. If anyone really believed it was a serious issue that wouldn’t be the case. It’s time to deal with this and follow the Portugal model. And empty of prisons while we’re at it.
And, that looks like a male leaf..
Brilliant document, I had a good read of it online. It’s factual, precise and the argument in favour of regulation is backed up with the stats that really matter.
