With current cover star Bressie responding eloquently to the misrepresentative Irish Daily Mirror story concerning his stance on drugs, we felt it was only appropriate that the Hot Press readers voice their opinions on the legalisation of cannabis.

Headlined 'Voice Star’s Cannabis Row – Bressie: Make Drugs Legal', the Irish Daily Mirror front page piece stems from comments Bressie made in our interview about cannabis.

Asked whether he had any thoughts on the private members’ bill to legalise cannabis that Luke ‘Ming’ Flanagan will be presenting to the Dáil before the summer recess, Niall said: “I’m absolutely pro-legalisation. I’ve never been uncomfortable in the company of somebody who’s high on marijuana. Stress will kill you, cannabis won’t. Saying it can lead to other drugs is the weakest, most pathetic argument. The ‘gateway’ thing has been totally disproved. It makes so much sense to tax and regulate it.”

He admitted smoking cannabis once during his time with The Blizzards, but stressed that he no longer indulges.
