Ireland’s government has announced plans to hold a public referendum on decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of drugs, including cannabis and MDMA.
The move follows years of pressure from public health advocates and is seen as a potential shift from punishment to rehabilitation.
Supporters argue it would reduce prison overcrowding and improve addiction treatment, while critics fear it could encourage drug use.
Why it matters:
Ireland could become a leader in progressive drug policy reform in Europe—setting a precedent that other nations might soon follow.
