Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Cannabis for Medicinal Use Regulation Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed)
9:10 am
Mr. Eugene Lennon:
Deputy Boyd Barrett raised a number of issues. It is illegal to take a controlled drug that has not been prescribed to one. That applies whether people are taking non-prescribed methadone, which is essentially heroin, Z-drugs or benzos for pain or whatever. It is an offence, so we are then getting into the wider issue of the decriminalisation-----
