Ireland accidentally legalizes ecstasy, magic mushrooms

Thanks to an accidental loophole, in Ireland has temporarily legalized Class A drugs, including ecstasy, magic mushrooms, and ketamine, for the next 24 hours.

On Tuesday morning, Ireland's Court of Appeals ruled that the 1977 Misuse of Drugs Act was unconstitutional — making the drugs it prohibits legal, at least for the time being.

Ireland's Department of Health issued a statement Tuesday explaining that under the new ruling, possessing the drugs in question "ceases to be an offense."
