1/ Ireland is in breach of EU Law w/ CBD #cannabis Judgement!

"If a country chooses to ignore European law the EC can launch a formal infringement procedure against the country in question. Possible sanctions facing Ireland include fines and, or the withdrawal European funding."
2/
Hemp Federation Ireland:
“The Irish Government and courts fail to understand that CBD products containing 0.2% THC are within European Food Safety Authority’s remit, are legal across the European Union and therefore cannot be banned in Ireland.”

@HempFedIreland @lukeming
3/ HFI:
“We understand the European Commission is actively assessing the situation in Ireland... and expect it to act to protect the rights of our long established industry to continue to exist.”

@businessposthq @Fweed_ @IrishTimes @irishexaminer @Independent_ie @rtenews
4/ "Ireland’s High Court mis-step effectively determines the CBD in the KanaVape product is legal, but the product itself is not..."

When you break down the logic behind the Bogusas ruling, you will find in fact it simply doesn't exist.

@DeptJusticeIRL @roinnslainte @FSAIinfo
5/ "[the Irish State] is choosing to ignore the EU Court of Justice and a previous [Irish] High Court Judgement from earlier this year made by Justice Emily Egan which upheld the KanaVape decision."

So they're basically doing whatever TF they want...?

@ReLeaf19 @puffnstuff_ie
6/ We hope and expect the EU to step in to protect the rights of the Irish hemp CBD industry, it's consumers & practitioners. We also believe they have no choice but to - as a Member State is aggressively out-of-step with their very own laws.

@TheCannabisRev2 @TweeterReynolds
7/ This article highlights the Judgement in the Bogusas 'test case' case for exactly what it was - a sham. It is the first logical, on-point representation of the issue at hand.

If it wasn't #cannabis, would this scandal get more MSM attention? What if it were a different crop?
8/ It would be great to see MSM pickup on the fact Ireland is ignoring EU #hemp law!

Hemp itself is the ideal carbon-sink, one hectare can absorb 15 tonnes of CO2.

Are they aware it's also an environmental & climate issue?

Anyone awake at the wheel of this democracy?

1) An update folks & I'm going to tell it to you straight!

IMO the existing CBD industry is being targeted by an unknown force of agitation within Government, likely the Dept of Health.

On behalf of this mandate, Revenue Customs are now seizing literally anything they can.
2) Yesterday morning, our Galway Manager arrived to the office to find 3 Seizure letters. One for 2kg of flower (OK we get that), one for 10kg of dried hemp leaves (THC free?!) & the final for 60 bottles of explicitly THC-free hempseed oil we sell FOR PETS. It's a salad dressing!
3) In the seizure notices, the language used now is "suspected THC-infused oil", or for the dried hemp leaves (which by the way, I could roll into a 10kg spliff, smoke the lot and be sober as a fence-post) "suspected THC infused product".

But here's the thing.

Two weeks ago, with guidance from @HempFedIreland, we sent a lengthy email to TD's and councillors from every major party. It detailed in polite but not uncertain terms the current state of total disarray faced by our industry.

Just hours ago, we received the first response.
And we're kind of shocked but most grateful to reveal it came from the office of @MaryLouMcDonald @sinnfeinireland ✊🌿🇮🇪

NOW I WAS going to write in big screaming letters:

Sinn Fèin Supports Cannabis Reform in Ireland!!

But I would not want to put words in anyone's mouth...
So instead! I'll quote the crux of it below. From the office of Mary Lou McDonald folks. Thank you to David Cullinane and Pa Daly for their help in this!

A noticeable trend amongst our older generation of customer - as we engage with them quite frequently, plus have family members in similar circumstances - is a sometimes dramatic drop in their use of existing prescribed medications.

Of which there are usually Many such meds...
Consider the older generation of Ireland have for the large part, had very little exposure whatsoever to cannabinoids.

Their ECS has been lying dormant their whole lives. Until now.

Prior to the 1920's, consider livestock was fed hemp both here and abroad, but not anymore.
As such, the results for certain types of people can be nothing short of remarkable -

And we're only talking HQ full spectrum <0.2% THC hemp cannabis extracts here, like the paste and 24% oil, and the cannabutter -

Not even for example, a 5:1 CBD:THC product.

Imagine the -

by Eva Short, 17th March 2021, via Business Post Ireland.

An Irish firm representing “blue chip” and “international” medicinal cannabis companies has lobbied government ministers and officials in a bid to establish Ireland as an “export centre” for Europe.

Green Leaf Agri,
an Irish advisory company set up in October 2018 by Michael Power and Thomas Lynch, held in-person and virtual meetings with the Department of Health and the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment advocating for legislation to allow for the cultivation and export of
medicinal cannabis in Ireland.

Despite achieving considerable access to politicians and officials, the company said it believed the government was being too slow to “follow through” on what it said was an economic opportunity.

Green Leaf hired Vulcan Consulting, a firm set up

Ireland holds a special place in the hearts and imaginations of the outside world. For all its problems, we genuinely love this Country and its people. So it's with this in mind we here at Little Collins wish everyone a most genuine and enjoyable St. Patrick's Day ☘️🇮🇪💚
Of course my wife Íde has her own very Irish memories of this day, growing up here.

St. Patrick's Day in Melbourne was certainly not missed either! Let me tell you we're quite familiar with Irish music and the accompanying craic :-)

Shout out to @DrunkenPoetPub for the best -
Guiness in Melbourne!

Finally, I'd like to express solidarity with many people across Ireland not consuming alcohol today due to ongoing recovery and/or addiction treatment.

Giving up alcohol is one of the hardest things you'll do, esp. on days like these. Keep pushing! ✊
