    Fantastic work by the Gardai, well done. I’m sure they’ll end up arresting someone for it.

    I don’t condone the support of corporate government storm troopers seizing a herb and persecuting florists for one reason, to extort them of their produce and use it for their own agenda. Supporting such tyranny is treason!!

    Its hilarious when I read a comment like “fantastic job by the gardai” , weed is the least of the countries problems and it seems like the gardai are spending the majority of their time focused on cannabis and not the drugs that are destroying the country like heroin . Heroins creeping in everywhere these days , in the last three years in Cork its after flooding the streets . Wake up and open your eyes weed should have been legalised years ago so we can focus on the plague that is heroin .

    Lots of seizures recently, if I didn’t know any better I’d say a few weeks ago they gave it a lash and found out it’s really not that bad!

    Yeah, isn’t it great to see our tax payers money and the Gardaí’s time & resources being wasted on the seizing of plants, I’m sure we’ll all sleep better tonight knowing that there’s a little less of the “evil weed” out there.

    Its insane to have a drugs siezure of any size and not arrest those responsible. Personally im in agreement with legalising weed, but if its against the law and the gardai have put the effort into a seizure the least I would expect is good intell before shutting it down.
