We all know the extra stress that can come with catching a flight, ensuring a suitcase isn’t overweight, that toiletries and liquids are removed from your case, and that all medication is appropriately packed with a prescription visible... Well, even when following this checklist, Andrea’s guest encountered an issue. Dolores Pickering, whose husband Brian, is buried in Ireland, was returning home to visit her husband’s grave with her son for Christmas…
Her son, Jason, suffers with anxiety and uses medical cannabis to alleviate the symptoms. Having traveled with it previously and declaring it upon arrival at any given destination airport, Jason has been asked to produce his prescription certifying the medical use of cannabis… However, on their visit here last Christmas, Dolores says they were interrogated, with the medicinal cannabis confiscated and destroyed in Dublin Airport…
Dolores, as well as Peter Reynolds, Chair of the Ireland Working Group of the Cannabis Industry Council, join Andrea to discuss.
