CANNABIS REGULATION BILL 2022

In November, Gino Kenny TD put forward a Bill to decriminalise cannabis for personal possession for adults. The Bill seeks to stop the criminal sanctioning of those found with small amounts of cannabis for personal use.

At present thousands of people are brought before the courts for possession of small amounts of cannabis.

This serves no purpose for either the person or the state. Later this year the Citizens Assembly will examine the issue of drug decriminalisation. People Before Profit hope that this will start a meaningful debate which can lead to the end of cannabis prohibition in Ireland.
