Majority of CIT staff want cannabis legalised

A SURVEY conducted at Cork Institute of Technology has revealed that half the staff have smoked cannabis and 70% want it legalised.

The survey, carried out by CIT’s department of media communications, showed that half of the 85 staff quizzed admitted to smoking cannabis, while four said they were using the drug regularly.

Nearly three-quarters of staff, whose average age is over 50, wanted cannabis legalised, compared to a slightly smaller percentage among students.
