A Midlands North West MEP says legalising cannabis would take its sale out of the hands of the criminal underworld, and create a safe and taxable supply stream.
Independent Luke Ming Flanagan told today’s Nine til Noon Show he believes the experience in Colorado, with a population similar to Ireland’s has been very positive, and he wants to see that replicated here.
On the issue of cannabis being a gateway drug, Mr Flanagan said the same argument could be made about alcohol.
This, he says, is why decriminalisation would not be enough……….
