Country doctors concerned on Ireland’s night walk to legalize cannabis
As proposals to liberalize cannabis laws are expected before Ireland’s cabinet in coming weeks, a panel of 20 doctors have raised distress over what they termed as ‘increasingly relaxed attitudes towards marijuana amongst the media, legislators, and commentators.’
The claim is that cannabis has now turned out to be the ubiquitous thing linked to drug-associated admissions to psychiatric hospitals throughout the country, mostly.
Furthermore, it’s the common drug that is involved in the new treatment sessions at a plethora of addiction services in Ireland. The doctors’ concern is that drug’s use during teenage increases risks of mental illness as well as impairments to thinking and memory.
Personal Possession of Cannabis
The proposals aimed at liberalizing the country’s drug laws are due to be brought to the Cabinet of the country in the coming days by the Minister of State for Drug Strategy Catherine Byrne.
The plans are that individuals caught with a little amount of the drugs will either be referred to a counseling or addiction service rather than being prosecuted.
The proposals came after a working group set in 2017 spent more than a year trying to examine alternative approaches to personal possession of illegal drugs. However, the group chaired by retired judge Garrett Sheehan didn’t produce an agreed report over the same issue.
Decriminalization
According to the doctors, decriminalization and legalization is different but agreed that both medical cannabis and decriminalization campaigns have all proven to be effective strategies to full legalization as well as commercialization in other dominions.
However, they claim that the general public is in the dark and are not being told about the harmful side of cannabis. Although, they say that the detrimental effects are now magnified with the prevalence of a potent form of cannabis than it was in early days.
For medical cannabis, the Department of Health is set to announce an access program within weeks. Therefore, it will put to rest the requirement for a doctor to secure a license before prescribing cannabis to patients with certain conditions.

Why the ACMPR Is So Popular with Medical Marijuana Patients in Canada
Depending on your home country, accessing medical marijuana may just be easier than ever for you. This is the case for North Americans, Canadians in particular. Since the early 2000s, Canada has been successfully implementing a medical marijuana program for patients called the ACMPR.

What Is the ACMPR?
Before discussing the growing popularity of the ACMPR program, it’s important to have a solid understanding of what it actually is. ACMPR stands for Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations. For those who are eligible and have a valid medical condition that requires the use of cannabis for treatment, the ACMPR allows for easy access to cannabis.
Not only does it allow medical patients to easily access medical-grade marijuana from licensed producers throughout the country, but it allows patients to cultivate their own plants from home. Unlike the recreational cannabis laws which allow citizens to grow no more than 4 plants from home, the ACMPR determines plant counts based on medical needs.
Canadians who use the ACMPR license to grow from home have a predetermined plant count based on the number of grams prescribed per day. For example, if you receive a prescription…
