-----why is the figure in Holland 90% lower?
Have tests of the samples of cannabis held by the Garda Síochána provided accurate results to show what is contained in the cannabis being sold? It is not ideal that people use cannabis, but its illegality makes it infinitely more dangerous. In particular, street dealers do not ask for identification. Were it legal, they could do so. Is there information on what is contained in contaminated weed? Would it be possible to consider imposing stronger criminal sanctions on those dealing in this substance, given that it is infinitely more dangerous than cannabis?
