    Due to a High Court ruling this morning, certain drugs are now legal in Ireland. Apparently Ecstasy and Ketamine are among those that are legal due to the loophole. Watch and see how quick the government can pass legislation when it really wants to.

    The Dáil is sitting late tonight so they can pass emergency legislation to ban the it ASAP.

    The can move when they want to.

    How does this affect those who were caught with the stuff in the past? Surely they're of the hook now?

    Soooo since 1977 people being arrested and jailed for possession of Ecstasy and Ketamine was unconstitutional. Can any legal types clarify?

    That would seem to be the case - and also anyone convicted for any of the other 100 drugs including benzos and any of the previous "legal-highs". Also, the new emergency legislation won't become law until midnight tomorrow night, so for today and tomorrow, all these drugs are legal.

    There's no effect on already-finalised cases, including where people are already serving terms of imprisonment.

    The declaration of incompatibility only applies to live cases.

    Handy get out clause for the state. And scant consolation for those who had their freedom taken away over 40 years unconstitutionally.

    Drug laws are a joke.

    Pass emergency legislation to ban these legal drugs.

    And they wouldn't pass emergency legislation to give us concerts. Concerts that were sold and then cancelled.

    They really don't like people having a good time in any shape or form.

    As the politicians are making amendments to this act tonight, then it would a simple matter of removing the words, 'cannabis or cannabis resin' and any section that details these herbs from the act.

    I would urge my fellow boardsies to send an email to your TD to encourage this effort.

    Where you getting all that jazz from? :confused:

    Once something becomes legal in a country all previous convictions are quashed and prisoners are freed. Just like the movies :)

    Amazing how quick the government can move when they want to. If this was a serious issue the cu nts would be nowhere to be found hiding behind their PR people.

    No retrospective effect for cases that have been finalized. The drug pushers can sit tight in their cells.
