Blindboy Boatclub: If you're against cannabis in Ireland, you're against safe cannabis The artist, author and podcaster asks if we should reconsider the prohibition model when it comes to cannabis use.

Both places where cannabis is fully legal recreationally. I sauntered into a cannabis dispensary. It was like an off licence back home. An experienced budtender asked me what I smoked in Ireland? I said, I don’t know, it smells like petrol and gives me panic attacks. They talked me through the dozens of cannabis strains in the shop. Explained the strengths, the effects, the amount of THC and CBD in each variety.
