Some of the responses in this thread are ridiculous, well most of them actually.

If there is a need to pass emerency legislation to stop the sale of these drugs then it should be done as quick as possible, which it is being.

By the sounds of people here most of you would be happy to see every convicted drug dealer in our jails go free.

That's more or less my position, yes. Unless they have also been convicted of violent crimes.

I'm all for this period actually. Let darwin work with free hands for a few days.

I know people that have been taking drugs for the best part of their whole lives and are still alive.I cant see how a couple of days of drugs being "legal" will cause a surge in the number of people dying from them.

Lots of the misery caused by drugs illegality. Costs the state in terms of enforcement, incarceration, treatment and drug related crimes. Not sure about making all drugs legal, for one thing most of the new virtual untested chems would not be of interest to most people if they had access to some of the safer drugs. Governments are starting to do a u-turn with regards to LSD and MDMA and recognizing their potential for treatment for things like depression. Funny thing is they were used for just that before they were made illegal.
United State, a country known for it's staunch position on the war on drugs, was historically strongly opposed even to the potential medical benefits of medicinal marijuana, now several state have legalised, for just that.

If you genuinely think a few hours of these drugs being legal will lead to all the 'imbeciles killing themselves', then you are closer to a Darwin award than they are.

It wouldn't be worth millions if it was legal

Washington and Colorado have legalized weed, for fun too. Legal for everybody above legal age. You don't have to pretend to be depressed or ill.

The illicit trade in cigarettes is worth hundreds of millions of euro in Ireland, even though cigarettes are legally available.

You can walk down by Busáras and purchase methadone or heroin, even though methadone is supplied legally by the health services, funded by taxpayers.

A 500% tax will do that to anything. Look at garlic man.

Methadone is supplied for addiction treatment. Methadone ≠ heroin.

I wonder how the illegal marijuana trade is getting on in Colorado? And how are the bootleggers getting on these days with moonshine whiskey?

Our leeching lawyers are gonna make a fortune outta this. :eek:

Funny how the Trioka demanded we bring in water charges and reform our legal system.

Yet we're only hearing about water charges

Ah so not only do you want drugs legalized, you want drugs to be kept cheap too?

Tobacco consumption is estimated to cost Ireland €3.5 billion per annum, €500 million of which is direct costs to the HSE. Taxation from tobacco doesn't pay for the economic costs of smoking, even at the present high rate of taxation.

Methadone is supplied for addiction treatment. Methadone ≠ heroin.

Methadone is sold in areas of Dublin city centre by individuals on takeaway treatment programs. Its effects mirror those of street-heroin, being lower in magnitude but longer lasting.
