NUI Galway Students Union has announced it will hold a referendum on 5 March to ask students if they feel the SU should adopt a position on the legalisation of cannabis.

The SU made the announcement yesterday, telling students they would be asked if they agreed with the following proposition:

“That NUI Galway Student’s Union actively supports the legalisation and regulation of the cultivation, sale and possession of cannabis for adults age 18 and over.”

It will be a simple Yes/No vote.
