Yoke Tuesday? Or how we accidentally legalised ecstasy, meth, ketamine, cat and god knows what.

Apparently, for the next 24 hours or so, meth, along with ketamine, ecstasy and a couple of other things is perfectly legal to possess in the republic of Ireland. A judge in the appropriately named 'high' court ruled that the 37 year old law used to actually ban them, and a bunch of other 'legal' highs, was unconstitutional. And always has been.

This is of course, so absurd as to be hilarious. The whole world turns as one and goes 'Whu?' The absurdity of it all is highlighted by the Rubberbandits on Newstalk

Salient and fairly serious points about mental health made here

Now then, the Dail is going to go into an emergency session to ram through a bill to correct this minor fuckup, but by the time the gears of the Oireachtas grind around and it slithers through the Seanad to the President's desk, at least 24-48 hours will pass.

But, until then....



Time to get cooking.

Legal to possess does not equal legal to produce. May want to be a bit careful there, considering chemical safety regulations.

So does this have any effect on past prosecutions? Because what a mess that would be...

Apparently not, because they were made in full faith and belief. And they never bothered to challenge the law.
