Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Sanctions for the Possession of Certain Amounts of Drugs for Personal Use: Discussion

Mr. Brendan Minish:

That is not our area of expertise, but it needs to be looked at and considered. Historically, people boiled poppy heads to produce weak opium teas and so on. They might be less harmful forms of the substance than injectable forms and might help people find some sort of middle ground. Again, our area of expertise is cannabis and that is what we spent most of our time looking at.
