Cannabis regulation and expansion of the MCAP program NOW!
With HHC now made illegal in Ireland, it has proven that changes can happen quickly, so what is the excuse for cannabis law changes?
We have had citizens assembly’s calling for changes, committee recommendations calling for change & the Taoiseach Micheál Martin promising decriminalisation in his party manifesto... Which has fallen on deaf ears.

Why is this important?
It has been 21 months since the citizens assembly voted to change drug laws here in Ireland.
It has been 9 months since a drugs committee recommended cannabis was decriminalised and the Medical Cannabis Program was expanded.
It has been 8 months since the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin Launched his election manifesto promising to decriminalise Cannabis.
So where are the changes?
As of 29th of July 2025 the Irish Government has made HHC Illegal, this is NOT a health-led policy or something that is going to stop young people consuming substances.
In reality and what the government has done is give organised crime gangs another new way to make more profits while putting more lives at risk, are you happy with that?
We need to demand change & we need change now! Please join me in pushing for changes in these laws like we were promised and help change peoples lives for the better & not harm them even more.
How it will be delivered
We plan to deliver this petition to the minister of health & Gary Gannon, the head of the drugs committee personally.
