The Minister knows that I am fully aware of that. The next project being advertised is medicinal mushrooms, farcical as that sounds.

Will the HPRA authorise those also? Will we continue to erode institutions and knowledge and bend facts?

I understand consultants will have to prescribe the cannabis. However, the limited legislation that preceded the statutory instrument stipulated that it would have to be prescribed by a consultant in the relevant field. A neurologist would have to prescribe it for a neurological condition and so on. My understanding is the statutory instrument does not specify.
