Our good friends the Rubberbandits have reacted to the news that ecstasy and many other banned substances are temporarily legal in Ireland.
"I want to take a ball of legal yokes and go on Joe Duffy to talk about this glorious day," says the 'bandit who's in charge of their Twitter account. "Imagine today was a big water protest day and all the protesters take legal yokes? My head is exploding with all the fucking gas scenarios. Imagine there was a really important referendum tomorrow and the votes get skewed coz the whole country get's loved up on legal yokes.
"Today in Ireland I can walk down the road smoking a joint and get arrested, while my accomplice legally smokes crystal meth," they concluded.
So, Joe, what about it?
The Dáil will sit tonight to pass emergency laws after the Court of Appeal this morning deemed parts of the Misuse of Drugs Act to be unconstitutional. Following a rubber stamping tomorrow by the Seanad, the loophole will effectively be closed.
It's thought that over 100 live drug possession/dealing/importation cases could be affected by the Court of Appeal ruling. Historically, it'll be interesting to see what legal recourse people who've been fined or jailed for ecstasy and headshop drug possession have.
