What is the song at 3:10
Fun fact: first age-restricted video.
I don’t agree with drug legalization (for entertainment uses), but…
That dude got all my respect for discovering that loophole xD
Wouldn’t this result in a bunch of drug convictions being overturned?
Crystal Methamphetamine is the same thing as Adderall, and methamphetamine(the same thing as crystal methamphetamine) is given to children as young as 8 for ADHD. It’s safe and very effective when you use it right, but if you are a moron and you smoke or inject 50 times more than the therapeutic dose (which is 10-40mg) then you will suffer. The fact is that research shows that about 70% of Meth users do not have a problem with it. But evidence shows that certain agencies who want their budgets increased and certain drug makers who sell patented ADD and narcolepsy meds have spread propaganda about it.
You really should hear the research from Dr. Carl Hart of Columbia University on this subject and don’t get your knowledge from the entertainment industry or the government. https://youtu.be/o97xuEtbkKg
Now HAI should make a video about someone who actually exploited this lack of law and what drugs they did
4:35, that’s not how you spell that
More trite and tired stereotypes from Noth America…
I’ve been dreaming for this to happen in my hometown just to see the pure and raw chaotic mess
How is this age restricted??
So basically, in Ireland, the only way to get convicted is by possession.
If they test your blood or urine, you can essentially claim that it’s still in your system from when it was legal.
With fat soluble substances, you can claim it for the rest of your entire life, saying that it only came back positive because this is the first time you’ve done physical exercise since 2015.
Simon Covenys daughter is in my class.And her other sisters go to my school.Shes really nice
Edit:I’m not even kidding.
Just FYI I got an inappropriate content warning form YouTube when I clicked this video.
Leo Varadkar you will be missed,but when Big Michael leaves office I will cry as will Ireland.
Most dangerous drugs already legal – alcohol, tobacco, meat and sugar. Portugal example shows that decriminalization reduces drug use. People will continue using psychedelics even if strictly illegal and risking jail
CGP Grey: I extremely regret saying “the Republic of Ireland” instead of “Ireland”
Half as Interesting: Reality can be whatever I want.
OK you picked terrible examples of "great musicians" and "great actors"
It’s my 18th birthday, that means I can finally watch this!!!
Isn’t it drugs are already Legalize? Without drugs, how can we heal people?
Real Engineering: Shows Leo Varadkar as Taoseach.
Micheál Martin: That’s my job now.
It took me a second to realize Irish Bernie Sanders wasn’t literally Bernie Sanders.
Ah, so this is why RT is like that.
why doesn’t a country legalize all drugs for tourism and the experience like amsterdam used to be about weed
There’s a little more to this. Basically it was a fuck you from the courts to the government. The court gave the government prior warning and advised them to come up with a replacement law before this one was repealed. The government didn’t listen to the courts and ignored it. So then the court got pissy and instead of delaying the judgment (like the government assumed they would) they passed it and suddenly the government had to go into panic mode…. Moral of the story, don’t fuck with the judiciary.
The pot at the end of the rainbow be locking kinda wack doe

You misspelled unconstitutional
Imagine how much crime could be eliminated worldwide, if all drugs were legalized
I am from Singapore and not Sinagpore
Thank you for putting the ad at the end just for that I watched the whole thing
Cool
They also accidentally banned straight marriage for one day. They have their laws written in English and Irish, and the Irish takes precedence. They got a bunch of monolingual lawmakers writing a law that said marriage "can" be between two people of the same gender, except they used the Irish word for "must" instead of "can".
So in other words, my government is a bunch of idiots, and I don’t remember that day (probably because I was eight and didn’t care that much)
This would be a time travel hub for sure.

Ireland has awesome food!!
As far as food goes, the best bread pudding I have ever had was in Dublin at the Harry Lemmon.
wtf this is age restricted???
These laws weren’t just unconstitutional, they were/are ungodly. It is hypocritical to ban all these drugs that God made and to lie about them saying they are too dangerous to be legal. Yeah some people abuse them, so tell them how to use them, don’t punish them. “The ruler who punishes his people over a trifle punishes himself.” It’s just foolish what the pharmaceutical drug barons have convinced our corrupt governments to do, to ban any drug that is unpatentable and competes with what they sell, like cannabis, methamphetamine and coca leaf.
Bro using a polo g murder beat dats crazy 😭
