Taoiseach reacts to proposed decriminalisation of cannabis

The Taoiseach warned against cannabis being “glamorised” after People Before Profit TD Gino Kenny introduced before the Dail a bill which would decriminalise the possession of small amounts of cannabis

The bill will be debated in the Dail early next year but Micheal Martin is already saying he would “not necessarily” be in favour of it. “I don’t know where he just pulled the 7g out of existence,” he told the Independent.ie.

“I think we have to be careful that we don’t glamorise cannabis either because there are real concerns within the health community and the medical community about what cannabis can do to young people.”
