J-Day 2007

[Gravy420]

Hi all, just want peoples opinion on J-Day. I wasn't able to make last years one but am considering helping in this year's so I was wondering what people thought of last year's(if any of you went) and any improvements that could be mad or any ideas you all may have. Hopefully then I can contact the organiser and see what could be done to make next years J-Day bigger and better!

Cheers.

How can i sum up J Day

"Here Bud hav ya any Blow"... "Excuse me Sir please empty your pockets"

Its a badly Organised mess. NObody turned up last year.

One Fact for you Gravy The O.P.W owns the park!!!!. They they dont even give permission for a generator???. Great rally that not even a loud speaker,,,


I admire anyone trying But avoid it Mate


Peace D

[Land of Drought]

J Day ant going to do jack,,,Richard Branson has a better chance of legalizing the herb than a bunch of kidds curious at the idea of maybe picking up some smoke funnly enough the gARDA TURN UP FOR THE SAME REASON....

[kongo]

lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!

[Land of Drought]

Kongo Head How'd

I take it you wont be there either lol......


Take it handy Mate ..

Best of luck in the coming months,,,D

[TheBudBuster]

its a sure was to get busted.. seems to me like a setup brutha.. how can we have a cannabis party if the mutha fuckas illegal.. dam 50 .. the cunt that organises it must be a bit backward..

[Land of Drought]

C.I.A had good intentions when it started. I am a member of there message boards and its usualy very quite or you get the usual heads posting message's looking for smoke. The guy behind cia has taken a back seat i think due too work or something so now its just thicking over,,i never got to meet any of the heads from cia they meet up now and again i think at one stage but that doesnt even happen any more........

C.I.A= Cannabis Ireland Alliance

[Land of Drought]

By the way again i have to say this i admire Gravy i was like that when i was young all up for the fight, but the system has a way off fking you over so too avoid a raid on my place or my pockets been turned out it dont trill me..
At this stage i dont think a march will change things or a bunch of smokers turning up too a park like lambs to the slaughter,,,,How fking paranoid would you be even if you did attend,,i d have to go with nothing just too feel ok....

Pointless

[TheBudBuster]

well said.. i didnt no the c.i.a. run J-day... props to him for the site and everything he does.. but to get this shit sorted we gotta go bigger than a bunch a stoners meeting in dublin.. give it a year or two.. the way the world is going it will be enivitable that cannabis gets legalised..Its the smart thing to do..

Peace

[Land of Drought]

Mornin Bud

Ye CIA hijacked the day ,It was up and running across europe. far as i can gather you can download the poster so there's no real organisation ivolved.
Good to see someone being posative but i dont think it''ll happen in the next couple of yrs...

[TheBudBuster]

hmm someone said itll not happen in the next 50 years.. how long do ya think then..they will have to do something.. am not talking now.. say in 2009-10.. cmon ni it has to be legal by then ffs...

Peace
TBB

[Land of Drought]

Bud,,,Dont hold the breath i tell ya,,lol
I just cant see it happening ,in fact ive given up hoping to be honest..With the smoking bans and all the health nut shit going on these days, i just can see it. Sure cigs are going up by the month its already 6,50 a pack now there talkin about an extra 2,50 a pack. i KNOW CIGS ANT THE SAME BUT, the point is smoking is really the big evil most plp wont see any difference in having to inhale ur ganja or ur baccy...in fact they probly rather ur baccie..lol idiots.
Where was i ye,,cant see it mate. The uk downgraded just to avoid decriming it i think. Less complants if people mainly middle class upper class kids ant getting busted, hench you can kill off any movement by being seen to be doing something,,,(without doing anything)

Handy Bud

[TheBudBuster]

its absurd to think taht smoking a spliff is worse than smoking fegs.. all tobac does is give ya cancer.. doesnt get ya high.. i hate England.. I cant under stand the world.. makes me depressed.. its legal in holland but not in England same planet.. same plant..how can one country see the benifets and another completly blind.. I put it down to corruption.. the goverment are HEROIN DEALERS>>
YOU ENGLAND HAVE SPENT THE PAST 1000 YEARS RUINING EVERY CORNER OF GLOBE> I love my country.. but im getting the hell outta the UK.. everyone here is going to die by NUKE.or flood.. hahaha.. SAOIRSE.

[Gravy420]

Well cheers for your opinions anyway folks. I think one of the main reasons it has so many problems is because those organising it have very little experience with planning this kind of event but with sufficiant practice who knows? I know the government isn't going to legalise it because of J-Day but I feel it's important to protest in any way, big or small, about our backwards drug laws. TBH I think if you only bring enough for 2 or 3 joints I doubt the gards would do more than confiscate it anyway but I respect that many of you have garden projects that would land you in hot water if discovered so obviously you wouldn't wish to draw attention to yourselves! Or maybe you're all being paranoid because you smoke too much lol!! Joking by the way.
On a more personal note, it's good to see another republican stoner! I thought I was the only one!:p

[notech]

Howdy Folks. . . .

In my opinion "JDay" should be renamed to JokeDay...
Because of the simple fact that it serves no useful purpose other
than to attract a handful of mostly kids,, or people that are "underage"
in the eyes of the lawmakers in this country. . . .

It has never achieved anything whatsoever,, except a mention on
the ccpr (http://www.ccpr.ie/) website and a few others
and maybe a tiny column in one or two newspapers. . . .

Nothing worth shouting about by any stretch of the imagination...
People in this country need to realise that there are not going to be
any changes in the near future in regard to our governments stance
on cannabis and drugs in general. . . .

Legalisation is the direction we would all like to be heading in,, but as was
said in this thread already,, Don't hold your breath. . . .

And while im at it,, there's a new Irish discussion board for our love of
herb over at thc.ie (http://www.thc.ie/phpBB2/index.php) if anyone is interested in having a look. . . . :smokin:

Peace. . . . :thumbsup:

[TheBudBuster]

Thanks 4 that Tech.. iTs a cool site... plenty of stoners.. Yes theirs no hope for J day.. but that doesnt meaN SHIT LIKE THAT CANT GO ON... who needs to do it under the scums noses.. do it in secret.. i say we go on a walk for the legalisation of cannabis.. lets all meetup at the bottom of Ireland. sit have a smoke then start prerooling spliffs for the long walk back.. that would be good though get loads of sponsers.. thousands.. then just do a sponsered walk .. prove to them that stoners and heads of all types are not just unhealthy getz. We need to get the govt out of power and put in the greens or conservitives >> that would be a step in the right direction..

Peace
TBB

[Land of Drought]

Dont trust the Conservitives mate they want your vote like the dealer wants ur hard earned. theyll say all kinds off shit ive heard the hints as well but the new con leader will turn belly uup when he get s in dont buy that shit man politics is money full stop...


take it handy D

[mfitzp]

im up for that walk! lmfao j day cant be that bad just sounds like a big smoke up to me!

[Land of Drought]

Perhaps if the cops didnt know in advance where and when ,,,
I think its dead issiue myself

[TheBudBuster]

It would be a serious smoke... would need plenty of doobies... but i think that would be better than meeting in Dub Park with a bit for two spliffs each.. no way .. The key is secrecey ?! Cops cant no nafin.. Yes soory for being weak.. Fcuk politics...>> If anyone knows how to organise shit then hit me up.. i wanna help..J day could be worth while.

Peace

Cannabis Legalisation Ireland (http://www.wwmmireland.blogspot.com)


I am one of the main organisers of last years and this years J-day or as it's known now World Wide Marijuana March Irleand.
just want to say thanks to all those who believe, something is better than nothing, and it's better to try then not to and thanks for all constructive critism, it's always welcome. Admittedly last years event could not be considered a great success, but it was a start and hopefully it will grow and improve from there. Like someone kindly pointed out, it's mainly down to lack of experience and there's only one way to get that! This year we are organising a March, because as people with a political issue it is our legal right to March and we will not be disperessed and moved on by the powers that be.
Could go on all day, but easier if yiz just check out this years site, fairly up to date Cannabis Legalisation Ireland (http://www.wwmmireland.blogspot.com) ? Let us know what yiz think? All help/ideas welcomed!!

To those with only negative comments and rediculous comments about it 'happening by itself' ???? anyway or it 'never going to happen'???? please don't bother unless you're able to open your mind just a little. We are not dreamers, we do not think it is going to happen any time soon, but it's going to take a lot longer if nobody is trying to do anything?? Look at England and the organisations there, they seem to achieve a lot, if even only to educate people and slowy change the atitude of the general public? Do you really think the many campaigns over there had nothing to do with de-criminalisation??

Anyway sorry for the ear burning, just people who sit back and slag others trying to do some good, really gets to me!!

Be Good,
Smokie Mc.

Who was slagging? i say fair play! if you read back true everyones posts you'll see there mostly saying the same! just that they dont believe it will do any good. Afew of them are concerned about security aswell, Weed is still illegal and some people like to grow there own u no ;) lol take a chill pill man! you shud'nt care who shows up as long as people show up

[KONGO2]

I'l slag who I want when I want especially if they post here!YOU may think your doing something couragous for the legalisation of Herb by holding the march but others will always have something negative to say no matter what.I was just wondering How many times YOU have been prosecuted and imprisoned for growing and or supplying those in need of some Kind medeicine.And how many times you,ve had your house ransacked by cunts who are just to greedy to buy there own.

I have the upmost respect for those who campaign but DO NOT come on these boards and moan about taking a bit of slack from those who are out there doing REAL ground work for the fight.Some of us have famillies and wish to remain in the shadows and think that going to bushy park for a smoke and a chat is a bit ridiculous.It attracts youth who just dont care and think "oh yeh free the weed man! ,now anyone gota a joint".Lets face it we aint like the Canandians ,Dutch,Swiss etc and never will be.

Well maybe a little strong ,never.I don't like never.When I look at my baby girl I wonder if we can make a start there changing the next generations way of thinking so its not a big deal.Lets face it the little fuckers running around my estate couldn't give two fucks about legizlation.They'd smoke there own mother if it would get them high!

Well if your going to come onto the boards with an attitude like in the above
statement,, it's not going to do you any favours whatsoever!!
Many people on these boards are just sick and tired of do gooders that think
they can change the fooking world by organizing a march/rally/walk or whatever
you want to call it...
Yeah sure,, maybe it will have some sort of impact,, but as i've said
on numerous occasions before,, it's not going to happen anytime in
the near future. . . .
Best of luck in your endeavors to change the country's mindset!


Have a good one!! :jointsmile:

[TheBudBuster]

this thread is great... so many minds.. all love the same thing do..

As smokie said,it's not going to just happen by itself and at least we're trying to do something. This is the first pro-cannabis march in the history of the state and we're not expecting 10,000 people but as long as we get the message across and get a bit of media coverage it'll be worth it. Look at the changing attitudes across the globe in the last decade. It's been downgraded to class C in England, in most parts liberal parts of America you can smoke and you will get in little trouble if caught by the authorities, in many regions of Canada it's pretty much decriminalised if not legal... I could go on and on but basically attitudes are changing since the days of Harry Anslinger and co.

And tbh you sound a bit arrogant with lines such as 'I'l slag who I want when I want especially if they post here!' What gives you the right? I know the last few J-day's were not up to much but this time it is much better organised and planned. And what do you mean by 'doing REAL ground work for the fight' I hope you don't mean selling smoke because how on earth that benefits the legalisation I don't know. I'm sure we've all had some run in with the law but you say: ' How many times YOU have been prosecuted and imprisoned for growing and or supplying those in need of some Kind medeicine.' That 'i'm a schmad dealer who's done time' stuff is just childish boasting at best and I'd say the vast majority of posters on this site are as unimpressed with it as I am.

If you actually served time for growing and distrubuting weed to medicinal users for free the I salute you but I'm afraid that to actually be arrested and sentanced to prison you would have to be a fairly high up dealer who would have been making a fair profit. How exploiting weed's illegality for your own profit benefits the cause I don't know.

In summary, chill the fuck out.

I dont have to justify myself to You BB and if you knew me which I thought maybe you did just a little then you'd know why these marches piss me off.I'm not trying to win a who got locked up more times or who helps who but when you come on a public board promoting what I think is a waste of time you expect to get a bita stick no matter who you are!!As for makin money maybe when I was young and stupid did I profit from other peoples misfortune and for this I feel bad but we all make mistakes.I dont know why I 'm even explaining myself to you maybe its because I'm passionate more so about Herb and the benefits it brings to mankind not just how much money I can make from it or how I need to put myself in a position which jepardisies things in my life that people GOOD people rely on!!If you think for one second that I do it for ANYTHING ELSE then bredrin you a sadly mistakin and I tell you what if you have any doubts please dont reply to this thread as I'l know exactly where we stand!!:rastasmoke: :rastasmoke:

I apologise if I offended anyone with my reply to the original thread and if it seemed like I was blowing my own horn then KISS MY GREEN ASS!!

Just goin to my garden to take a CHILL PILL LMAO!!

JAH BLESS.:rastasmoke:

[mulltie]

..man you not think yas shud get a new organiser? last year one juggeler came and a couple of polish people lookin to score hash off me.. the juggeler sat down and started to toke sum soap with some d4 lookin people and then i got the next bus home.. it was really shite no entertainment etc .. we made a joke on the way there ''ahaha look wudnt it be crazy if it turned out that them people smokin on the side of the road wer the onli people at this yoke''.. turned out our joke sorta backfired.. mh

[KONGO2]

Far play for showin up bredrin.I went to one of the first and there wer a few people about 20 and they were mostly lookin to score or jus lookin to bum.I went again the followin year and it was exactly the same a few more but mostly youth lookin to get stoned Cannabis prohibition was so far from there minds it wasnt funny.I left after half hour.Shame there are a lota nice rael tokers out there just wanting what we all want FREEDOM!

[TheBudBuster]

ok r you talking about me or BB AS INBIG BALLS OR SUMFIN what im confused at that..


FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEDOM

[nippledonkey]

Well ladies and gents the march is on tomorrow (Sunday). Meet at Parnell Square Garden of Remembrance at 2pm! It has had lots of coverage in newspapers and the radio so I'd say it's going to be a great day's craic :-)

[nippledonkey]

Well the march was a huge success, 500-800 people. Hopefully this news will shake the apathy of those who stayed at home and encourage them to come next year. For some photos, see Photo Essay from 'Pro Cannabis' March - Indymedia Ireland (http://indymedia.ie/article/82404)

[moshmonkey]

i would love to have come apart the fact its in dublin and im in donegal and REALLY hate dublin! but i did my best by gettin announcements on radio stations around Ulster, if it was any good i dunno but there ya go.

fair play to all who organised it and turned up.

[ptl32]

I'm not really a fan of J-Day at all, but then you see the marches they have in canada and all that which has masses of followers and you think that nothing will get done if we don't voice our opinions. Still i'm not the marching type

What i think would be great for J-Day would be for people to meet up, keep it quiet close nit, if your part of the group then bring 2-3 friends you know you can trust and then just get all the cars to head off to some field in the middle of no where on a sunny day and just blaze away and swap stoned stories or even better grow info, then after that day there will be more growers and then next year if them 2-3 mates bring another 2-3 mates each you have a big gathering :)

Of course the law is the biggest factor there but if theres rules like everyone only carry enough for themselves like maybe a limit of 3.5g and absolutely no selling. so if there was trouble they wont be able to do much with a few grams possession.

If the group got big enough then maybe they could do some lobbying then or something but i think it's mainly just creating a community and see where it goes.

[nippledonkey]

Sounds fun :-)
