I'm not Kiel but I am a member of CCPR :-) A properly organised and well attended march would not make any difference to policy but, it would be the first time any official form of dissent against the laws took place, which no politician here has had to deal with as yet.

I'm going to try and cover everything you said if I can remember :-) As for Eoin Ryan, if the possibility of being sued by lung cancer victims is the 'main' obstacle to legalisation we have very little work to do! There has never been an incidence of lung cancer in a marijuana-only smoker. The facts are on our side, that is why this 'war' is so winnable. As Bill Hicks said, we're already winning the war on drugs remember?

And yes, recreational and medical use are seperate issues, but if you pass medical use, people will realise that the dangers of cannabis aren't as bad as they were told. That's one way of looking at it.

Of course a march isn't going to do much but it's a step in the right direction. Get the issue in the papers and get our arguments out there.
