In 2015, Ireland will move towards decriminalizing substances including heroin, cocaine and cannabis. The program will also create designated rooms in Dublin where heroin users can inject themselves. Proponents of legalisation argue that instead of shaming addicts, Ireland’s drug policy should focus on treating them. Opponents argue that legalization program encourages widespread drug use.

not all drugs but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation and decriminalise drugs with medical benefits such as marijuana and decriminalisation for it recreationally and reduce sentences for those already serving time
@9NLLGK48mos8MO
yes, only for clinically controlled, commercially safe drugs, and only for relatively safe ages 25+ years of age to prevent brain deterioration.
@B2GVP7S2wks2W
Yes, for small personal use matters I think this should be treated as a health concern for the person rather than criminally convicting and revert them to health services as an alternative
@B2FVQX82wks2W
I think decriminalising less harmful drugs first and adopting some of the schemes from other countries that have legalised them
@9ZWDBC52mos2MO
Under strict licence and in controlled circumstances to take power and money away from criminal gangs and to provide support services and education for users and potential users
@9ZW7DHS2mos2MO
yes but provide the public with clinics where these individuals can go to safely use these drugs and be in a controlled environment. this protects both the individual and the public
@9ZVS9TW2mos2MO
Decriminalise and tax drugs to create more public funding and should also help addicts get more help if it’s legal
@9ZVQ4FQ2mos2MO
Just drugs like Marijuana I won't bring my daily sides to take this song on tour of the fact that there's an intelligent way. I find another publishing.
