Review of medicinal cannabis begins after mother's protest march yesterday (Ireland)

Very interesting movements re: legislation in Ireland after a mother of a girl who has severe seizures began to walk over 150 miles form her home to the Dail (government building in Dublin) in order to highlight how her daughter needs the medicine. The minister for health organised to meet her.. hopefully some movement for these poor children and the ridiculous scheduling laws here. Not allowing this child this medicine is cruelty in the highest order.

"HEALTH MINISTER SIMON Harris has announced a review of Ireland’s policy on medicinal cannabis, which is currently strictly controlled.
The announcement comes a day after mother Vera Twomey began a 150-mile protest from Cork to Dublin to try to persuade the government to legalise cannabis for medical purposes.
Vera’s six-year-old daughter Ava has Dravets syndrome, an extremely rare, drug-resistant form of epilepsy which at its worst, causes up to 20 seizures in a day."

The bill will be passed by Irish government today to legalise medicinal cannabis in Ireland. Reads horribly and looks like recreational, those with mild medical problems and those without medical insurance users will have alot to worry about imho.

yeah mate thanks for replying hope your well. I personally think it is a disaster for anyone who uses who does not have a life limiting illness, and the authorities will use it as a way to target recreational users and growers full throttle. Reading the full bill, the new auhtority wil have such powers that they will fully enforce to get full shilling, and see any other use of canabis as a threat to coffers. Ireland is a corrupt little country when it comes to politicians, taxes, banks, finance.. add this on and you have a disaster for growers, seed sellers etc. The best we can hope for is the little girl in the original post gets treatment, the worst we can expect is that that treatment comes at a cost, whereby the profits of the super criminalisation and taxation of cannabis , the options to purchse seeds paraphenelia etc is all overrun by corrupt greed, police who want to up their convictions rates, judges who are so over the hill they make mr burns look like a teenager, and an whole clusterfuck of badly produced weed taxed to the hilt. I hope I am wrong!
