Ireland\u2019s Oireachtas Justice Committee is recommending that the government consider legalizing cannabis for adult-use, in addition to wider drug policy reforms. <\/p>\n
According to its website, the\u00a0Oireachtas Justice Committee\u00a0\u201cshadows the Department of Justice and considers policy in the fields of justice, security and the rule of law to ensure that Irish society is safe, secure, just, open-minded and impartial.\u201d<\/p>\n
As we previously\u00a0reported\u00a0late last month, People Before Profit TD Gino Kenny formally filed an adult-use legalization measure that, if passed, would legalize cannabis possession for people 18 years old or older in Ireland.<\/p>\n
The measure is not as robust as the legalization model currently in place in Canada, and would legalize the personal possession of up to seven grams of cannabis flower and 2.5 grams of concentrates. <\/p>\n
The bill would not legalize cannabis sales.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe that if passed, this bill will provide a stepping stone to a more progressive drug policy in Ireland,\u201d TD Gino Kenny stated on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0last month. <\/p>\n The report by the Oireachtas Justice Committee does recommend that the government consider launching legal sales, with the goal of battling the unregulated market. Per\u00a0The Journal<\/em>:<\/p>\n A NEW REPORT by the Oireachtas Justice Committee has recommended that legalisation of certain drugs be examined by the Government as well as allowing some drug cultivation at a \u201cnon-profit\u201d level.<\/p>\n The report, published this morning, recommends that the Government examines a regulatory model for certain drugs, including cannabis, as part of measures to reduce the impact of the existing black market for illicit substances.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
