Sort of! Weed is partially legal in Ireland.
Overview
In Ireland, the legality of cannabis is a complex issue. Medical cannabis is legal under certain conditions. The Minister for Health can grant a license for access to cannabis for medical reasons. However, recreational use of cannabis is illegal and is punishable by law. The possession of small amounts can lead to a fine, while larger amounts can lead to imprisonment.
Related substances such as Delta 8, Delta 9, THCA, and CBD are also regulated. Delta 8 and Delta 9 are considered psychoactive substances and are therefore illegal. THCA, the precursor to THC, is also illegal due to its potential to convert to THC. CBD, on the other hand, is legal as long as it contains less than 0.2% THC. It's important to note that while CBD is legal, it is still regulated and must meet certain quality and safety standards.
