The Dáil has passed a bill to make cannabis available in Ireland for medicinal use, after the Government said it would not oppose the legislation.

Put forward by People Before Profit TD Gino Kenny, the bill seeks to legalise and regulate cannabis products, which are used for medical purposes.

Speaking after the bill was passed, Mr Kenny praised Minister for Health Simon Harris for his position in not opposing the bill, while thanking all of those who supported the legislation.

Earlier Mr Kenny said his bill intended to make cannabis available to those with chronic pain, epilepsy, cancer, MS, fibrmyalgia and, under a doctor's recommendation, would help to alleviate symptoms of illness.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr Kenny said that research showed cannabis can help a lot of people.

He said it would be up to a doctor to decide if a patient might benefit from the use of the drug.

Mr Kenny said he hoped the medical profession would come on board to support the use of the drug once it has been approved by the Health Products Regulatory Authority.

Minister Harris said that although he has concerns about some elements of the bill, he will not oppose its progression to Committee Stage.

Mr Harris asked the Health Products Regulatory Authority to advise him on the scientific and clinical value of cannabis as a medicine.

He said he wants to receive that advice from the agency before progressing the legislation any further.

The minister also indicated that amendments would have to be made to the proposed bill to avoid the unintended effect of making cannabis legal for recreational use.

That's the best of news for what, millions of red haired kilt ballers with medical need. Truly truly overjoyed to see anyone

be freeee

But the mentioned "unintended effect of making cannabis legal for recreational use" would be less disease yadda yadda to the choir.

Wow, fuuuuckheads, just fucking legalize for all people to drop in their goddamn blenders EVERY goddamn long slaving day.  Everyone who has one inkling to juice budflower is having a medical urge for healing/betterment.

No such thing really as recreational, it's goddamn medicine period all day, getting so sick of this particular bullshit.

Thanks to the guvnas of Ireland though for sure, good news for so many.

Gotta love the irony. The native Irish folks I've been around in the past were legendary drinkers. I'm talking cranking a beer at 8 am on any given day kind of drinking. So, it's cool to be a drunken idiot and blow out your liver in short order, but can't have any of that recreational MJ smoking that might actually have some positive therapeutic benefits though - very bad!

Free the damn weed!
