Eire: Cannabis March planned in Cork, May 5th

Cork Student News

Friday 16 Apr 2010

LEGALIZE CANNABIS IRELAND, a political group and advocacy organization promoting and lobbying for the legalization of cannabis, has announced that they will be holding a march on Saturday May 8th to coincide with the 4th Annual Worldwide Marijuana March day.

The march will begin at 2PM on May 8th with a crowd assembling outside the Bishop Lucy Park. The purpose of the march is to gather together a large number of people to promote the legalization of marijuana, both as a recreation and medicinal substance.

The group, founded only two and a half years ago, has previously held marches in Dublin and Cork which were both viewed as great successes.

Previous demonstrations which the party has organized include 'J-Days' where protesters will smoke cannabis in public in a blatant show of defiance to the authorities; the group's Facebook page says that there were arrests made following such a protest in 2006. Although it's not clear whether the Cork protest will involve a 'smoke-up', it is a possibility.

The group believes that the full legalization of cannabis will lead to: decrease in general crime rate, easing of the drugs problem, increase in police and court and other benefits.
