Poll: Should Ireland move to legalise marijuana?

It may happen in a number of American states. Would you like to see it here?

VOTERS IN THE states of Washington and Colorado in the US have opened a pathway to legalise marijuana following a milestone ballot yesterday.

Although authorities have stressed that the drug will remain illegal under federal law, supporters believe the win will force a new approach rather than prohibition.

As the states look at relaxing their laws, we would like to know what you think about Ireland’s current system.

Do you think Ireland should move to legalise marijuana?


Poll Results:

Yes, for all reasons (recreational, medical) (8254)
Yes, but only for medical reasons (2391)
No (1131)
I don't know (527)
