LOD, thats not the way to look at it ... Just like does it matter a feck weither you voted or not ... with your mentality it didn't matter at all cause your just one vote... but together it does make a difference.

Anyone on this forum that was on the march has a right to say that its terrible the way the law is in ireland and that it should change... anyone like myself that did not go to the march should be quiet on the subject because there might not be a chance that they listen to 400-800 people marching but posting stuff on a cannabis board is like shouting into space. There is a 1% chance that the march makes a difference but theres 0.000000000000000000000001% chance that posting on a forum and not marching will make a difference.

I feel so bad for not marching because just like in canada it is the power of the people that will get reform, if the next march gets 1,200 people and then the next after that get 2,000 and it keeps growing then that is when someone will see that there might be enough voters marching to get them elected if they go for pro cannabis. Also marching and showing dublin people a couple of thousand people marching for cannabis will encourage them to show there support and get them talking about how stupid the law is on cannabis.

Even the amount of networking that would have happened at the march, sharing info etc. I'd say there is easily another 50-100grows in Ireland after that march

So hats off to everyone who marched and of course organised it because you actually tried to make a difference and I will definitely be in the next march.
