Carrying cannabis medicine to be legal

By Jennifer Hough

Wednesday, April 20, 2011

DEPARTMENT of Health officials have been instructed by the Department of Justice to enact an EU agreement which allows people to carry legally prescribed narcotic or psychotropic drugs for medical use.


The move comes after Galway man Noel McCullagh, who uses a cannabis- based drug for multiple sclerosis, sought a guarantee that he wouldn’t be arrested for bringing it into the country.

This could mean medicinal weed could be de facto legal in all EU countries, once it's been legalised in one EU country. It would mean that although it may not be legal or possible to have it prescribed in one country, you could travel to somewhere it was, pick up a prescription legally, get yo' weed and bring it back to your home country. Because the EU guarantees the freedom to travel with medicines it would mean once you're legally allowed have it in the place prescribed, you could have it anywhere else.

this is the start of a slippery slope, what next, prescription heroin?

How would you get a prescription for it in the legal country if you're fully resident in an illegal one though? Do irish GPs register patients from anywhere?

[Mavolio]

Only if you were a citizen of that country i would have thought. but then how hard would it be to get dual citizenship?

I don't think Irish GPs are planning on prescribing it. I'd presume you'd have to go to a Dutch doctor.

And getting to see a doctor in a country not your own is fairly commonplace. Plenty of people with non-trivial disorders travel to other countries to get specialist opinions and treatment. So it would just be a case of a weed-doctor setting up in some airport Ryanair fly to, and a dispensary in the airport too. Everyone flies there in the morning, in to see the doctor, get prescribed, pick up weed, fly home in the afternoon.

[Devec]

Everybody knows that banning things gets the best results for everyone, who needs quality control on drugs anyway when nobody can get to it?

Thats not how the EU works. You cant discriminate on most things on nationality. Pretty sure if you registered for a doctor in [medical weed country] he would have to treat you like any local citizen

Aye, pretty much my undestanding. You probably won't qualify for free general healthcare in other EU countries unless you satisfy certain tax profiles or residency conditions. Although emergency care and anything ensuing from that would be on the basis of EU citizenry (There's a particular official EU document you're meant to carry with you if you're travelling around the EU that will show any doctor that you're entitled to treatment.) So the person may have to pay to see the doctor in the other country, but they can't be refused treatment.
