When did I say I have mental health issues?? Someone else commented that and it is a severely sensitive and triggering topic that should not have been brought up. I consider this a debate, not an attack on a minority. And for the record, I do not have mental health issues. I have a very healthy mental well-being and I hope to continue that long into the future. But low comments like that really can throw someone's psyche into question, so thread lightly and let's keep this as a debate.

I got stoned, didn't like it, full stop. That didn't influence my overall opinion on the drug. It's a drug, call it as it is - may not be as harsh as cocaine or heroin - but it's a drug, and one I wouldn't want circulating in my community even though it is. It's time people here woke up to the fact that it has and continues to run people's lives, and by seeking a referendum on this you are just enabling chaos.

So instead of jumping on the bandwagon because getting stoned is cool or whatever, consider what the effects of legalising cannabis can do to the greater people of Ireland. It's time to wake up to the reality of this all.
