Friend of mine got caught drinking driving last month. They let him off on condition he paid them 500E. He did that and all was sorted. Knock on the door last week. Same 2 cu*nts...looking for another 500.

Let me guess next you'll be telling us how you'd lost your virginity at 12 and had 100's more women by 15 ...

It's obviously wrong to ruin someone's life for having a small part of a plant that naturally grows in nature and has never killed anyone. In fact, when cannabis is re-legalised in the future (it is only a matter of time), when we're a little bit less backward, our current legal stance will be viewed a bit like when women weren't allowed vote or when homosexuality was illegal.

It's a plant. It relaxes people. Either Mother Nature was wrong or the law is wrong, no brainer really.

So because Mother Nature made something like a plant or berries it is okay. Why dont you go out in the countryside and try to eat some of these plants or berries I can tell you will be very sick soon.

Mother Nature gave us botflies and Death Caps and tsunamis as well dude. Weed is pretty harmless for most people but your line of reasoning is well off.

Is every drug user an addict?

Only those that are addicted, not the vast majority of recreational users. Much like alcohol.

I feel sorry for that doctor. 50 euro worth of weed and his career is ruined. Suppose he could kill someone or himself on that crazy drug. Nooottttt fcukin idiot cops and government . When I was a young lad a Garda took weed from my friend on the spot didn't charge him or nothing. I reckon the Garda brought it home and smoked it himself or sold it. I also no of a guy that was let drive home by a Garda even tho he was drunk.

Meanwhile in other parts of the country...

Elderly people in rural Ireland live in fear as violent gangs of burglars roam the countryside operating with total impunity.
Parts of the our capital city's centre become no go areas with open drug use and unchallenged anti-social behaviour.
Our reputation abroad is tainted by frequent violent attacks and robberies on tourists.

Not to worry! The gallant Gardai are keeping the public safe from this utterly harmless man committing an utterly harmless "crime".

The point being made is the gardai are not stopping and searching the hundreds of drug addicts, who beg steal etc... on the streets all day every day yet arrest a man smoking a spliff minding his own business

I'm fairly certain a Garda wouldn't turn a blind eye to a addict heating a substance on foil or smoking crack. This bloke was openly displaying an illegal drug so left the Gardai no choice but to act. This was not a "stop & search" result. His stupidity of discarding the spliff followed by running are the reason this has seen the courts I would say.
I lived in town a few years back and the Gardai did arrest the "junkie types", I very much doubt that has changed in the last few years. Cannabis in my opinion should be legalized and regulated like alcohol, but it is not at present so by using it you run the risk of being arrested in possession of it. I'm sure most cannabis users would have the general cop on not to use or display it in public, as it's common knowledge possession of a controlled drug is a criminal offense under current laws.
