Marc Emery & Dr João Goulão in Ireland for cannabis reform meetings
As you may have heard today if you were listening to Newstalk or 4fm, Canadian cannabis policy reform advocate, Marc Emery, is in Ireland for events at Trinity College, Dublin (tonight, September 23); NUIG, Galway (24) and University College Cork (25).
Joining the ‘Prince of Pot’ on the platform will be Dr João Goulão, the policy expert who helped drive Portugal’s decriminalisation of the personal possession of all drugs in 1999.
Organised by Students for Sensible Drug Policy Ireland, the talks are open to non-students as well. Both men talk an inordinate amount of sense on a subject that Hot Press will be re-visiting shortly.
