Tightening 🇮🇪 Ireland

Ireland widens the legal definition of cannabis

The Misuse of Drugs Act 1984 replaced the 1977 definition, which covered only the flowering or fruiting tops, with one covering any plant of the genus Cannabis or any part of it. Mature stalk, fibre from it and seed were left outside the definition.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Ireland here.
