Varadkar comes clean on relationships, cannabis and head shops

FINE GAEL’s Leo Varadkar has revealed he has never been in a serious relationship, has admitted smoking cannabis at college, and believes head shops should be regulated and not banned.

In a Hot Press interview published today, Mr Varadkar said although he has been “extremely law-abiding” since elected, he smoked cannabis at college.

Regarding head shops, Mr Varadkar said it seemed as though they would always be one step ahead of law, and it might make more sense to try to regulate them. Drug dealers were clearly threatened by the shops. “I think it’s kind of curious the extent to which the attacks on the head shops are being carried out by drug dealers. It shows the extent to which the main opponents of any form of legalisation or regularisation of drugs are those who are making a fortune out of selling unsafe, dangerous, drugs that are not properly monitored in any way.”
