Podcast... is a serious one as Barcelona's Cannabis social clubs are under threat and facing inspections in a completely regressive move from the Town Hall. There is a real fight to protect cannabis social clubs in Barcelona and this is a call to the public to join in a manifestation outside the Ajuntament in Placa Sant Jaume on Friday 23rd!! 300,000 people in Barcelona are members of the estimated 200 associations or Cannabis Social Clubs (CSC) in the city. Many take the clubs for granted so for this conversation I wanted to demonstrate the long fought battle for these rights to cultivate and associate in the city that appears so progressive. That is until people realise that the clubs are NOT legal but instead exist in a grey area because of generations of local politicians who have lacked the moral courage to despite their existence regulate them properly! The social club model in Barcelona is being looked at as a potential model for legalization in other countries across Europe from Germany to Malta. It is widely seen as the most progressive way to properly manage the most widely used drug in the world after alcohol. Victor Segues and Albert Tió were both board members of one of the first CSC's in the city called AIRAM and are now shockingly serving a 5 year sentence for their involvement. They are an inspiration in their selflessness that people really need to recognise as their young families are left behind every week as they need to go to Centre Penitenciari Lledoners a jail made famous as they share it with the many Catalan independista politicians who are there for attempting to hold a referendum! It is politics totally separate to the boys as Albert calls for support and for a green revolution which is the basis of his philosophy! The Links to buy the book featured in the talk LUZ VERDE - A LA LIBERTAD https://luzverdealalibertad.com/ Luz verde are a fully constituted political party and you can find all information on them here https://luzverde.info/ We need to support our Canna POW everywhere all the information on how to connect with Victor and Albert are in those links and as every year Luz Verde will also have a physical presence in Spannabis so be sure to check them out on their stand!! Visca la Catalònia i deixa't portar pels carrers: Desa els Clubs! Join the Green Revolution!!

Bit of a Newsy Episode this one for 'Canna We Talk Now?' - The Glasses are once again an unfortunate metaphor for the backwardness of Irish Drug Policy New Year, so a brave new naïve optimism prevails but there is a lot of good and bad news in the space. 2023 saw the long awaited, ostensibly Civil Service Scam that was the Citizen’s Assembly on Drugs! Plans are to get some of the ‘Citizens’ on for a chat – The result was 37 recommendations most as ever containing the conditional ‘Should’... We can as ever, expect a nicely bound report to gather dust in the bowels of Leinster House. Ireland has always been famed for our writers so I suppose it is what we do #IrelandWritesReports Next week I hope to chat with the irrepressible 'pain in the Dáil arse' that is Gino Kenny. Gino will once again table what is a new short mostly Decrim Bill which we truly hope will be supported and stop criminalising people! In November Aodhan O Riordan in the Dáil put the figure of people arrested for Personal possession at over 6400, so presumably we will have been close to a year end figure of close to 7000... Odd as the nGardai claimed in the CA that nobody is ever prosecuted for personal use LOL But some like Patrick Moore can be prosecuted for non profit cultivation that genuinely helped so many patients who testified as such in court but he was given 5 years for his guilty plea – Today 13/1/24 will be the 407th day of his sentence! There are currently 5 cases (approx) being taken by Ireland’s much loved CBD stores, who have had their products continuously and illegally under EU law seized always with the same heavy handed raids. Their family businesses have been damaged and all the stress of the raids causing no end of personal anguish for the staff. We will be seeking to get some of those voices on in February to get the reaction to the court cases which will have taken by then. The Irish Medical Refugees (Including myself) are still exactly that, refugees unable to return and medicate themselves in a dignified civilised legal fashion... In European news there is also a case of a collective one foot step forward and 2 steps back! In many cases as the political compositions of parliaments constantly changes... but generally policy moves across the continent go from one minute Progressive to more stronger Prohibition the next! In Spain there has been awesome news that the new left wing government which by bringing in a lot of the outlier parties with the most progressive in 'Gender composition' has meant a new cabinet and a new Health Minister Monica Gomez. Ms Gomez is herself a pain specialist doctor and anaesthesiologist it is hoped will unblock politics and finally deliver proper legislation for a Cannabis Access programme! Every Country has their champions while for Ireland it took Vera Twomey to walk from Cork to Dublin to try and make politicians give her the vital oils she needed for her child, the now sadly departed Ava. Similarly it was Charlotte Caldwell who campaigned for her son Billy who while from the same island but the other jurisdiction that meant that campaign meant the legalisation of Medical Cannabis in the UK. In Spain there is the tireless Carola Perez, an adult who suffers from chronic pain. The hope is that these movements in Spain might produce a policy that can be a model of best practice for 'medical Cannabis' across the continent... Back with healthcare in Ireland we will speak with the amazing Dr Joesph Rosado the doctor who treated and prescribed the oils that Abigail Mc Quillan so desperately needed and he did so through her palliative care until she sadly passed within weeks of Ava at the beginning of the Summer. Our 2 little martyrs should never be forgotten RIP Pilots in Amsterdam and Zurich are looking to create further working models that with a Germany, Luxembourg, Czechia and Malta all edging forward the EU must be feeling the pressure to end the nonsense and regulate!! Alas with Cannabis whenever there is progress it is usually always matched with some real regression... Even in Spain for so long a light in its development of the CSC Model, it is admired across the world but now has to deal with a lowly commissioner in the Barcelona Town Hall looking to make a name for himself is pledging to close ALL the clubs in Barcelona... defies belief but further demonstrates the inane nature of political reaction to the DEMON WEED!!! I am currently organising a very high level Irish delegation who will join me for all the events that take place around Spannabis which will take place for the 22nd year beginning on Paddy’s Day this year. There will be 30,000 people enjoying the Europe's longest established conference and party! As ever it will be proceeded by the incredible C-Days conferences which take place in a devoted department of Barcelona’s UPC For our part with Irish Canna Clinic… We have decided to develop something called the 'Irish Canna Fringe' which will be an Edinburgh Style multidisciplinary Arts Open Invitation event where I hope the artists of the 32 counties of Ireland from musicians, dancers, film makers to Street Artists, whatever will come together in one grassroots Arts festival.

Their story is one of brave entrepreneurship that is typical of 90% of people operating within the area of the wonder plant that is Cannabis Sativa. A century of stigmatisation has created barriers and so in an effort to be fully prepared to deliver their business plans the pair returned to studying and registered for a Masters in Ag-Innovation at the National University of Ireland and began developing our Solventless Processing Method.They were determined to produce the highest quality product! Hemp4Soil “According to the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), a third of the world's soil is now moderately to highly degraded. The processes that generate high-quality, fertile topsoil can take centuries to form. And the world is ploughing through that resource at an alarming rate.” So our dynamic duo set about creating a Regenerative Farming Experiment on Loop Head to “Explorie the potential to improve soil quality & biodiversity while also creating alternative sustainable income streams for farms on Loop Head”. They asked farmers to set aside ONE ACRE for 12 Months to be used for a Loop Head Experiment?

Chapters: 00:00:00 Controversial cannabis use in Ireland The story of Patrick Moore’s day in Court 00:05:00 Experience with wife who was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. 00:10:00 Beginnings with RSO method, society should reconsider the current approach to cannabis. 00:15:00 History of prohibition of cannabis and how it has been demonized as a dangerous drug.. 00:20:00 Glamourisation of Ireland's drug gangs, 00:25:00 Sitting with the plants and set their intention for healing and cultivating them with love and compassion. 00:30:00. Criminalizing the populace is a dangerous and control-oriented tactic. 00:35:00 Moore shares success stories of patients who have used medical cannabis 00:40:00 Gateway drug for people struggling with addiction, to help them break free from their addictions. 00:45:00 Negative effects of the society's fear-based mentality. 00:50:00 The powerful connection between the mind and body and need for everyone to learn how to meditate 00:55:00 Evidence-based policies are not always followed in a court of law 01:00:00 Impact of the drug gangs and their involvement in the illicit drug trade 01:05:00 Difficulty in accessing healthy food and the importance of supporting Patrick and Ali’s family-owned businesses like Green Gourm Ireland in Abbeyfeal 01:10:00 Being on parole and the process of being allowed out of jail for a short time. He describes Shelton Abbey he is in as great, with helpful staff and open spaces. Moore expresses gratitude for the support he has received and encourages others to take action in finding solutions. There have been some disgusting manifestations of 'Prohibition Irish Style' over the years but in December 2022 Irish justice truly reached a new low with the jailing of Patrick Moore, disgusted by the case Irish Canna Clinic launched the #FreePatrickMooreNOW hashtag immediately and we have been marking each significant date along his sentence. If you look back on this channel you will see the clip of his 200th day when I spoke with long term friend of Patrick’s, Peter Reynolds who was in the court on that day of judgement on December 2nd removing him from his young family’s Xmas dinner table! The injustice still enrages and he is a worthy cause celebre for all our activism! We were so happy that he was at least removed earlier this year to an Open Prison in Shelton Abbey where he immediately became a valued inmate organising meditation groups and working in the gardens! It was wonderful to hear that he was going to have some chance to spend time again with his young family. Despite his incredible outlook in the face of adversity it is still a most regrettable call marking 350 days Yet this sadly continues every day in courts across Europe and none more vociferously than in Ireland who refuses to recognise any of the value that cannabis could bring to the country! This humble Limerick farmer, who through his own lived experience via the Crohns Disease of his wife, learned the skills to grow and extract oils that brought her so much relief. Coming from the most beautiful place driven by the massive heart of a caregiver via a local Healing group more very needy people came to him for his oils. We are talking a range of conditions from kids with cancer, to Palliative Care situations and one remarkable Huntingdon Disease who regained the power of speech and was able to testify for Patrick in his court case!! Still they gave him 5 years!! You can read the full story written by Peter Reynolds on our web which will also contain the CountUp clock until this man is released. ICC will continue to advocate strongly until he is officially released. Ireland are missing an opportunity in not regulating Cannabis properly and after the recent sham that was the Citizen’s Assembly we can see that there will be very little change anytime soon! For now Patrick’s partner Ali runs an award winning cafe ‘GOURMET GREEN’ in Abbeyfeale in Limerick serving only the very finest natural food, wonderful daily fresh menus. So if you are in that part of the world we implore you to do your body a favour and share a little bit of the love that oozes from this family! I suggest you pour yourself your favourite tea and sit back and enjoy the calming words of this genuine modern day healer! #FreePatrickMooreNOW Patrick and Ali's Award Winning business Gourmet Green Ireland Main Street Abbeyfeale, Abbeyfeale, Ireland +353 89 246 1227 info@gourmetgreen.ie gourmetgreen.ie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gourmet_green_ireland/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GourmetGreen/ Irish Canna Clinic - On Social Media Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@irishcanna Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IrishCannaClinic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irishcannaclinic/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/IrishCanna Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-3052976 TIKTOK: @irishcanna

Chapters 00:00 Medicinal Cannabis in Irish Healthcare 11:24 Cannabis Medicinal Training for Doctors 15:24 Ministerial License Program for Medical Cannabis 20:13 Transparency and Challenges in Medicinal Cannabis Industry 23:57 Traveling With Medicinal Cannabis: Challenges and Precautions 28:40 Personalized Medical Cannabis Prescription 33:01 Medicinal Cannabis: Legitimacy, Security, and Future Potential There has been a real buzz around Canna circles in Ireland in the last 2 weeks particularly from patients who have had to watch their neighbours just a couple of hours up the M1 enjoy some of the possibilities that are apparent under UK legalistion. Patients will know that the UK has a very active and by now established situation of active prescribing doctors. It is the nature of this absurdly unnecessarily complicated space that Irish patients are still largely being denied the same access. So in the last week (I write on Nov 17) like buses where you never hear of a prescribing doctor or clinic then 2 land at once with press releases inviting Irish patients to contact them as it would now be possible to safely access the Cannabis they desperately need. Everyone I spoke to just couldn’t understand how this could happen under Ireland’s draconian prohibition! We decided to ask all the ICC followers and also invited many from the Crain Reddit platform and we got a lot of replies to put to one of the clinics as part of our “Canna We Talk Now?” series… Thank you to everyone who contributed and I hope I did justice to your questions… If you enjoy the clip please hit the like, Share and why not give us a sub we are seeking to only drop quality content to inform and educate!

Graham holds a LL.M in international human rights law and a B.A in philosophy/ psychology and he was awarded a full academic scholarship to complete the Drug Policy & Human course at Central European University. Graham is also the Founder and Director of Ireland’s ‘HelpNotHarm’ a small but hard working group devoted to providing qualified guidance and harm reduction guidance to many of Ireland’s primary front line workers in the Drugs space and he was actually the one behind the first testing tent in Electric Picnic. Currently based in Portugal where he is a grower himself and so has intimate knowledge of what it means to cultivate within Portugal. Please check out his Casa Dos Drogas Youtube Channel where as mentioned in this Talk you can find his videos from his recent NY trip We discussed a shared disappointment in the outcomes of the much lauded Citizen’s Assembly which in the end after 200 hours of speeches from 120 speakers who spoke mostly of the negative outcomes of Drugs including Cannabis. Despite!!! there being a disfunctional government funded programme MCAP there was never a mention of any benefits and actual patients were largely absent from the deliberation. Was it for this that drove Vera Twomey to walk from her West Cork home to Leinster House and Deborah Downey fought for years pleading for oils that might help their children. Sadly both Ava and Abi passed away this year RIP but there is still all the medical refugees that have again being cast from Ireland’s shores to safely access their plant medicine!

He is one of the founding members of Ireland’s foremost Cannabis regulation activist organisations CRAINN who have more than 40,000 young people on their Reddit and Discord platforms. A young articulate educated passionate voice who makes for one of the most stunning interviews of the Canna We Talk Now? Series.We felt that he was one of the most impressive voices of the 120 speakers at the Citizens Assembly on Drugs and could see that he had a lot more than the allocated 7 minutes to say!The call ran to over one hour 20 minutes and it was so depressing to edit as it was filmed the day before the final day of the Assembly, the all important voting! Every activist who had waited patiently for years for the Assembly just to take place and at times were filled with naive optimism that somehow this so called act of ‘Direct Democracy’ might produce some progressive recommendations which the milk livered politicians are required to read and react to transparently to what really is the outsourcing of decisions they are paid to make but don’t have the moral courage to do… As I watched as I edited absolutely affected by the brilliance and integrity of Graham, knowing the outcome I had a true feeling of almost depression knowing that the ‘Citizens’ had chosen really naively to buy into a slogan of ‘Health Led Approach’ one that Steve Bannon could be proud of. A Catch-all but meaningless slogan, so confusing that it caused the Citizen’s to vote in direct contradiction to what they had stated so emphatically at the start of the day that they wanted to change the status quo!! But after a day largely of confusion that is exactly what they voted for... THE STATUS QUO!!!!‘Health led Approach’, can now join ‘Get Brexit Done’, ‘MAGA’ and the rest of the dumbing down sloganeering nonsense that makes it easy to accept and think you are making change! The Gangs can rest assured tonight that it will be business as usual as this can has once again being launched into another age. I know for a fact that passion like Graham's won't be quashed and honestly the FAILURE of this Assembly might have lit a spark under a completely disenfranchised 20% of the Irish population who are denied again their human rights!!

In our latest Drop in our Canna We Talk Now? we speak with one of the very few Doctors in Ireland that is not afraid to speak out about the merits of Cannabis as a medicine… The almost singular voice of Dr Garrett Mc Govern. Garrett is Clinical Lead HSE Addiction Services & GP Specialising in Addiction Medicine. Dr Garrett McGovern is a Medical Director and Founder of the Priority Medical Clinic, the first medically led private OUTPATIENT alcohol and drug addiction treatment programme in Ireland. Dr McGovern brings a wealth of experience having worked in the field of alcohol, drug and behavioral addiction since 1998. He started out treating heroin addiction and has continued in the opiate dependence field. In recent years opiate addiction has exploded in Ireland beyond heroin with the emergence of painkiller opiate use. His approach is pragmatic, evidence based, non-judgemental and individually tailored to the patient. So it is a mystery to so many that such an experienced voice was overlooked as part of the ongoing Citizens Assembly… the fact that he is so outspoken and never afraid to pull his punches has created a lot of unease around the organisation of the Assembly. This is EXACTLY why the Irish Canna Clinic created these series of Talks to give a space to the so many voices that are being left out of the conversation we believe by design!

Yet we still have many small family businesses being 'raided' and their product seized in Ireland. We wanted to do a deep dive as to what is the ongoing issues with Hemp in Europe and so this was a brilliant opportunity to get that info from Chris Allen, the foremost authority on the subject in Ireland Unfortunately the quality of the edit hits a couple of over exposure issues but the enlightenment is there for everyone to hear!!! Chris Allen is Executive Director at Hemp Federation Ireland, Ireland's national hemp industry representative body. Her main area of expertise is the legislation and regulation governing the operation of the Industrial hemp sector in Ireland and Europe from 1970 to the present day. Hemp Federation Ireland is a non-profit organisation and Chris works both in Ireland and at EU level to protect the legal and economic entitlements of Irish hemp farmers and business operators and to defend the environmental potentials of the Irish Industrial Hemp sector for the benefit of the Irish people. Hemp was first reintroduced as an agricultural crop by the European Commission in 1970 and has been grown consistently in EU Member States ever since. In 2018, Irish authorities began to represent the EU hemp crop and derived goods as dangerous drugs in public discourse. In 2020, in advance of the opening up of rapidly expanding global Industrial Hemp markets, the Irish government completed its transfer of agricultural hemp revenue streams from Irish farmers and operators to pharmaceutical cannabis interests. In December 2020, the European Court of Justice ruled that hemp and derived goods cannot be controlled as drugs under the national laws of Member States. A few weeks later Ireland's Minister for Health designated the EU hemp crop as a drug for the purposes of Section 13 (1) (a) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977. Although hemp products are available in shops across Ireland, they are no longer grown on Irish farms. No accurate information on the environmental, social and economic potentials of the European hemp industry has ever been made available to Irish farmers or the Irish public. It is an hour but jammed packed with qualified knowledge... https://www.hempfederationireland.org/ Irish Canna Clinic On Social Media Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@irishcanna Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IrishCannaClinic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irishcannaclinic/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/IrishCanna Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-3052976 TIKTOK: @irishcanna

Like so many in the Irish Canna Community we first came across the amazing Green Tea when she featured on an interview on 'The hard Shoulder on 'Newstalk radio station What absolutely stood out about that was first how great a speaker this young lady but also her attention to detail to make sure that her Cannabis was of the highest quality for a patient. It is something that is not the concern of the standard Drug gang teenage dealer, who to quote Blindboy "the only strain on offer in that illegal market is... Do you want it or not?" At the beginning of our talk we joke about how ridiculous it was to live through the years of Sinn Fein interviews and broadcasts always delivered via an actors voice... So for the continued absurdity of Paddywhackery justice she leaves the camera off!

This Talk is a follow-up to our 2020 Talk with both Vera Twomey and Deborah Downey under our Medical Cannabis DeMystyfied series… Both Vera and Deborah were mothers to 2 wonderful daughters who sadly suffered from retractable drug resistant forms of Epilepsy. While Vera’s daughter Ava suffered from Dravet’s Syndrome and In the case of Deborah’s daughter Abigail who suffered from Lennox Gastaut Syndrome. The manifestations of each disease are pretty much the same with uncontrollable violent seizures in the region of over 70 a day… Both ladies that in 2020 had been through a several year process to be allowed give their daughters the vital Cannabis oils that literally stop the seizures and bring the chaos that surrounded the extended families lives some semblance of peace. It is incredible the lengths these 2 women had to go to independently to first get the recognition that Cannabis was a more effective treatment than ANY of the other toxic treatments their children had to endure basically due to the stigma surrounding this wonderful plant Abigail had lived a normal life until the age of 6, riding her bike to school before this horrible disease manifested… She had in Deborah the most powerful Mammy who looked after though all those chaotic and stressful times and Abi survived way beyond what doctors gave her to the 19 year old woman she is today. This is one of the most incredible testimony of a Mother’s love through adversity who is now preparing for a most beautiful end for her beloved Abi as she is now in Palliative Care. She tells of the difficulties through the Irish Medical System but how she eventually found a hospital in Drogheda prepared to listen to her and her shining knight the incredible Dr. Carlos Ramirez who saved her life remotely on one occasion with the help of the Drogheda Team. Deborah with Abigail at peace in her final days is preparing for the end but she wants to make sure that her life will not have been in vain. This clip is very powerful!!

The original Irish Canna Clinic Talks were born out of a collaboration with the UCD, SSDP back in 2020. There are always new iterations to the SSDP with every student intake and we are very excited to see some real new energy under the leadership of this very charismatic Iranian medical student. It is so refreshing to see Mani Begyi a young medical student with a strong open mind as they are studying the impacts of psychedelics (particularly Psilocybin in health which has by now being legalized in the state of Oregon) and it is this research that has led to UCD's SSDP to address an open letter to the Citizens Assembly recommending full legalization. SSDP chapters are gaining strength across our campuses and we hope their voice will continue to get louder as 2023 develops! 00:00 Start 02:00 Why the SSDP Open letter? 09:90 UCD working with psychedelic research 14:00 Students and Drugs 23:00 Dynamic Drug policy required You can view the full open letter on www.irishcannaclinic.com where we have a page supporting all our "Canna We Talk Now?" series...

Here Johnny recounts the difficulties as Howard asked that they go way off the beaten track. The trip included appearances on the 'Late late' amongst other adventures... Towards the end of those dates in early 2011Johnny made the connection with Stephen, who had been a Barcelona festival promoter since 2004. With Spannabis looming on its annual dates in mid March the timing was perfect as Howard was destined to be in Barcelona hooking up with the legendary Shantibaba to discuss all things Mr Nice Seeds... Venues were found and post show invitations arrived to get the possee to the inauguration of one of Barcelona's very first CSCs, The Resin Club! It would be the 1st of Howard's only 2 Spanish dates as Stephen brought him back the following year. The 2 here recount the remarkable aura of a man that lived the most remarkable life constantly running the gauntlet! He recalled his secret when he declared to Johnny that simply... "I don't do Stress" in that beautiful Welsh lilt. He will be forever remembered by everyone that he touched! Up there looking down on us with that knowing beautiful smile!

This is an incredibly enlightening conversation with Human Rights lawyer Graham De Barra an incredibly well traveled leading light of Irish Cannabis Activism. Currently based in Portugal where he has been in touch with the 'Portuguese Model' and few in Ireland will know it better. This legislative model has been much discussed in the recent Irish Citizens Assembly on Drug Use and this conversation goes a long way to giving a real understanding about what it means. Graham holds a LL.M in international human rights law and a B.A in philosophy/ psychology and he was awarded a full academic scholarship to complete the Drug Policy & Human course at Central European University. During his studies, Graham founded Ireland's first Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) society, promoting drug education, first in UCC in 2011 and then in NUI Galway in 2013. In 2016 Graham chaired the largest medical cannabis conference held in the European Parliament which featured medical practitioners, industry and governments & also hosted the Global Medical Cannabis conference in Dublin in the same year which was a catalyst to Ireland's subsequent regulatory approval and import of cannabis-based medicines by Ministerial exemption which developed the Medical Cannabis Access Program. Since 2020 Graham has been involved in conservation efforts for certain plant species in the Azores.

In this Talk I speak with Baptiste one half of Third Eye Cannabinoids CBD brand but also an incredibly knowledgeable Frenchman who has been to the fore of French Legislation. The talk took place on the Day after Bastille Day and we dig down as to what is happening in France and his hopes and thoughts for the bigger European picture. He also comes live from Thailand!!! where he was actively offering consultation to the fledgling industry there which had recently fully legalised. The Sound is as good as we could get and I hope you will enjoy... I first met Baptiste and Leo the two very affable young Frenchmen behind the wonderful CBD brand that is 'Third Eye Cannabinoids' at the World CBD Awards in 2022, in Barcelona. I often struggle at conferences, museums, etc as they are usually spread out over large areas with a lot of walking involved! Also these types of events is still really the best opportunities to meet a lot of the industry in a single weekend. The two boys recognized this and called me over to their stand to try some of their vape that they were showcasing at the fair along with the complete product range of their company. They suggested to take a good hit off the vape and come back in 10 mins to give some feedback. I duly obliged and was really surprised first with the smoothness of the vape and could really feel in the first 5 mins so much lighter on my feet. It was very striking to me. After a quick chat the 2 explained to me their experience of working directly with many patients in France suffering a myriad of conditions. Over the next 2 days of conference I got to know the boys very well and I was really struck by how much they cared about their brand and products. So it came as no surprise really that on the Sunday Award Ceremony they came away with the prize for Best Vape!!

In John's own words... After graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Electronic Engineering, in 1985 John moved to Holland to work for Philips. Over the next 4 years he regularly smoked cannabis that I bought in the local coffee shops and enjoyed it as freely as I did the local beers. I only came across cocaine once (in a night club) and no other illegal drugs whatsoever. After leaving Philips I got a job with Western Digital in Cork and went out one night looking for cannabis. I was given directions to a dealer and also scored LSD for the first time. Next morning I went to a public park where I met a bunch of young teenagers who pointed to the guy I was looking for. I bought a "deal" from him and over the following year I came across a lot of other drugs besides cannabis. I moved to Kilkee in 2015 and less than a month later was knocked down by a hit-and-run driver. The gards investigated and several months later called to my flat to tell me due to lack of evidence they were dropping the case. They smelled cannabis so next day they showed up with a search warrant and so began my career as a criminal!! I've been searched many times since, been convicted a few times (most recently at Ennis Circuit Court) and unless the law is changed, I'll probably end up in prison someday. John is a wonderful peaceful human but in small town Ireland looking how he looks with and his open-ness about his activism it has made him a very easy target for the local Gardai He has sought to set up an Irish Cannabis Party and a Kilkee Social club and is regularly to be seen cycling around Kilkee proudly wearing his activism. I really enjoyed his articulate reflections on the different experiences between Holland and Ireland and sadly how certain people can be persecuted under Ireland's prohibition. John is one of the voices not getting a proper representation in the Citizens Assembly the guy who just enjoys Cannabis and the culture around it. He continues to live under the shadow of his suspended sentences...
