Belfast West - Drug Law Reform

There should be a safe & regulated market for the selling and personal use of cannabis
The Cancard should be recognised as a valid indication of medicinal cannabis usage
Drug use should be decriminalised and a focus should be placed on a healthcare approach
Support services to help those misusing drugs to quit should be expanded
Comments
  • I’m not aware of the details of the cancard
  • While populist, decriminalising cannabis is not necessarily a progressive solution . The link between cannabis use and mental health problems is established. Decriminalisation will not improve that. I don't know what Cancard is!
  • We also need to look at certain drugs that are criminalised and their uses, effectiveness to help with the furthering of humans and their mind especially those with mental health issues.
