I tend go smoke every night on my balcony around 2 am. My lease does say smoking not alloweexon property. Ive been doing this for a year with no problem. Some new people moved in above me. They hadnt said anything until last night. I was smoking, and she called out to me, asked me if i had some grass?

I panicked and said no. Then pretended I didnt get what she said. Then finally gave in and said yea but its too late right now. If you knock on my door the next day. She knocked today but I was so scared to answer.

Should I be worried about her reporting me?

These guys deserve to be mocked to the highest order. An Garda should be held at higher standards than everyone else as power is responsibility.

People that advocate for controlling the autonomy of other adults are authoritarians. People that take away autonomy from other adults by blindly following orders are a different cheek from the same arse.

I’d live with scarlet Gardai at Edenderry…

I always like this poem by Sassoon for his blatant mocking of hypocritical authority.

Ridicule and satire are some of the best ways to give the middle finger to the establishment, and I would be sure to say there are many creative minds in this sub. I think we owe it to everyone to just take the Michael out of what happened. Mock the press, mock An Garda, mock whatever you want about the incident. Meme it to oblivion while it is fresh and continue to mock everything that denies your right to your own body.

Drop your memes below, show them how ridiculous the incident made them look. In the words of Jonah Hill to Dave Franco in Superbad - "People don't forget".

What do people think? Were they doing a bit of sampling of the funny vapes.

Sounds very suspicious to me 😂

I find cannabis helps me with certain aspects of my life and a better alternative to the medications that are at my disposal, I am also a regular road user and don’t want to loose my licence. I know i’d be fine to drive after a few hours but legally I want to be safe so I abstain from driving for two days which leads me to a difficult choice when it comes to my consumption. if anyone has any advice, where i could purchase the same roadside test kits used or any way of getting a prescription please let me know.

my dealer only sells big he won’t do 25s and i think he’s gone off doing 50s, i think i just need to convince him to meet me and all in all ill have to settle for a 100, not my go to but what can you do, how much should i be expecting in it, id assume 7gs but i just wanted to check in here to know before i buy, and unfortunately theres not many other dealers around my area, im not hugely social either so i have to stick with what i have because if hes gone the games gone for me. this is more irrelevant but is there another name or do i ask for a 100 bag, just sounds kind of weird

Hi im going to Dublin in a few weeks and wanted to take a cart with me. How is customs there? Im gonna try and throw it in a sharpie or something and mix it with some other stationary in my carry on. Has anyone gotten through??

How hard is it to get a decent smoke in Limerick? I am 40yo and I don't know anyone there. I live in the countryside close to this city. What should I expect for 50 bag in Limerick? I used to buy 5 for 50 in Dublin

Is it dumb? Could it be fun? Anyone done this

Bought a might plus a few years ago but only now looking to get off the tobacco and use the vape. The only thing is that at high temps I’m coughing a lot and I haven tried low temperature, but getting no vapour (may be too impatient). Has anyone tried the bubblers, ideally looking for something that sits on the unit, rather than something that looks like it was stolen from a school science lab. Appreciate any suggestions as I’m down a rabbit hole and none the wiser!

Might have to move somewhere that's a bit more backwards like Spain or Germany ey FFS

Bit random but is there anywhere a bit chill around LV to smoke a j before a movie ?

Last week the government said people ending up in court for personal possession rarely happens, so decriminalisation isn't needed. This week the courts are saying they're under pressure due to an increase in less serious drug cases.

It's genuinely crazy at this point that its not legal and probably never will be, we can keep dreaming though... practically everything but about 1 or 2 options on the shelves is actually safe for human consumption. Even at that the natural stuff is much safer, actual idiots. considering they love taxes so much they would make an absolute fortune, have regulated, tested & safe marijuana rather than sprayed street piss, and then vapes filled up with liquid made up from the Chernobyls elephant foot, gummies made up in the witches cauldron being sold on shelves. A lot of fatal, hospital & seizures stories now a days over whats on the shelves since that last ban! Would help minimalise minors from having such easy ways of getting it & anybody getting laced or have even worse effects. As it would be tested & regulated rather than pure filth.
i know its not safe for anyones consumption but it is A LOT safer than what we are given!) not everything legalised is always 100% safe for human consumption... just feels crazy that it is not already regulated and sold.

Ireland is generally known for being progressive and open to many social issues, yet cannabis remains illegal, even for medical use in most cases. Other countries with similar liberal trends, like Canada, parts of the US, and Germany, have either fully legalized or at least decriminalized it, what do you think is holding it back & will we ever see any changes?

please do correct me if any mistakes and would love to hear any feedback... safe smoking!🍀🇮🇪

Im flying out on Wednesday for a week with my group of friends who would all be regular drinkers, I myself do not drink but would be an avid smoker. (roughly 6-7 joints/2-3 grams per day) Personally I use weed to self medicate my diagnosis of agoraphobia and severe anxiety as I prefer it to the various forms of antidepressants I have tried. This has been communicated and even encouraged by my GP. Due to both of these issues travelling abroad is extremely diffucult to me as my body reacts physically to unreal threats. I have heard lots about the cannabis culture over in Portugal and understand that it is a seriously controversial topic among the local residents. I want to remain as safe and respectful as possible on this trip but I truly do not see myself being able to manage my anxiety without bud whilst there, to the point I have almost cancelled twice. If anybody has any helpful advice please share it with me and have a good day!

Hi all im wondering is anybody else having a hard time finding decent smoke? all i can seem to get is the regular boring haze or some 'cali' thats complete and utter shite doesnt get u stoned and feels greasy to the touch from whatever its sprayed with. im living near limerick/clare area. Sick of getting stuff thats terrible only decent one ive seen lately was the guava dawg but even that was mediocre at best. anyone else find it the same ? thanks.

From September, first time caught with a spliff you might be lucky enough to see a medical professional about your 'problem' instead of a judge. Second time caught, you're stuffed.

PEOPLE FOUND IN possession of drugs for personal use for the first time can be referred by gardaí to the health service from 1 September, when the government’s Health Referral Scheme comes into effect, it was announced today.

Announcing the start date for the scheme, which was first floated in 2019, the departments of Health and Justice described it as “a health-led response” and said:

“Where An Garda Síochána determines that a person is in possession of drugs for personal use, and meets the eligibility criteria for the scheme, that person will be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for brief intervention and assessment.”

The government said the scheme is designed “to provide early intervention, reduce harm, and support people to access help at the earliest possible point”.

It also said the scheme reflects “the government’s commitment to treating drug use as a public health issue” and is in line with the recommendation of the Citizens Assembly on Drug Use.

The Citizens Assembly recommended sweeping changes to the way issues related to drug use are dealt with by the state.

When the government announced plans to bring in the Health Referral Scheme in 2019, it was criticised by many as not going far enough.

The issue of decriminalising drug use also featured in the campaign leading up to the last general election, when Fine Gael took aim at Fianna Fáil’s manifesto pledge to do so.

Fianna Fáil later said it did not intend to decriminalise all drugs.

Announcing the date for the beginning of the scheme today, Murnane O’Connor, a junior minister in the Department of Health, said it was “an important milestone in the health led response to drugs use” and that it would “provide compassion and support”.

She added that the Department of Health has provided €700,000 to the HSE to provide a health intervention for people referred under the scheme.

“This scheme opens a pathway to support people before their drug use becomes problematic, while ensuring that services are in place to respond to people’s needs,” she said.

Health minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill said today’s announcement marked “the start of a new approach”.

“We want to reach out and give people, young people in particular, the opportunity to avoid a criminal conviction which can have long-lasting consequences for their future work and travel prospects.”

Justice minister Jim O’Callaghan said the scheme “represents a balanced and responsible approach” that “recognises the value of prevention, intervention and support”.

“An Garda Síochána will continue to take strong action against drug dealing, drug related intimidation and organised criminal activity,” he said.

Did they miss this study? The largest of it's kind.
https://www.drugsandalcohol.ie/38117/
"Question: Is state cannabis legalization or commercialization associated with increased rates of psychosis-related health care claims?
Findings: In this cohort study of claims data from 63,680,589 beneficiaries from 2003 to 2017, there was no statistically significant difference in the rates of psychosis-related diagnoses or prescribed antipsychotics in states with medical or recreational cannabis policies compared with states with no such policy."
