4th Annual Anti-Prohibition Marches

national | rights, freedoms and repression | press release Thursday May 06, 2010 02:40 by Cannabas Éirinn

Together with over 300 cities from around the world, Legalise Cannabis Ireland are proud to announce that the fourth annual Legalise Cannabis Day is to take place in both Dublin and Cork this Saturday the 8th of May. Through experience in this anonymous subculture we have repeatedly found that the vast majority of cannabis users in Ireland can consume cannabis responsibly. These are typically decent and similarly unharmful people who should be able to consume cannabis without being criminalised or having fear of oppression for doing so. Due to the nature of prohibition, our culture is largely unfarmiliar in the general public's eye. Despite this, we will march in protest of the criminalisation of cannabis users and we call for full utilisation of the cannabis plant for its medical, industrial, recreational and agricultural values.

The aim of Legalise Cannabis Day is to call for the Irish Government to withdraw from, repudiate, or amend any and all international treaties or agreements which limit its ability to alter domestic drug policy; to ensure that no patient shall be prosecuted nor any health care professional penalized for possession or use of any mutually agreed upon medications; to immediately release all non-violent cannabis users/growers; and to start using the billion euro cannabis market to help repair our economy rather than wasting resources and supporting organised crime by imprisoning peaceful cannabis users and growers.

Dublin: Assemble at the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square at 2pm.

Cork: Assemble at the Bishop Lucey Park, Grand Parade at 2pm.

Thank you for your time,
Legalise Cannabis Ireland.
