Donkey,, are you Kiel in disguise ? ? ? If so,, why not show yourself ? ?
Anyway,, are you planning on fighting this "war" on two separate fronts...
Because decriminalisation of possession and legalisation of medical mj are two
totally separate issues when it comes to trying to convince the mo-fo's that
run this country that cannabis should be legal...

Because on the one hand your always going to get a certain amount of people
that will say and accept that it should be made available for medicinal use only!

But the fact is that about 80 percent of those same people would not want
it decriminalised for us ordinary folk. . . .

If your going to try and organise a march you must be somewhat convinced
that it's "maybe going to make a difference" ? ?
The worldwide global marijuana marches that take place across the world on
a yearly basis have been on the downturn over the last five years,, the London
march was even abandoned this year. . . .

So with that in mind,, what makes you think that a march in Dublin is going to
do anything to make any difference to the policy that our government has on Cannabis/Drugs in general. . . .

You say the difference is that your optimistic about change,, well the truth
is that it's going to take a lot more than optimism to change the minds of
not only our government,, but the attitudes of the majority of people in this shit-hole of a country that we call home. . . .

For those that have not seen/heard these remarks,, read the paragraph below. . . .

Fianna Fáil MEP Eoin Ryan said the State would end up being sued in the courts if it legalised cannabis, similar to tobacco companies being sued in relation to cigarettes.....

Mr Ryan said: ??What politician is going to get up and say legalise drugs. The problem is if a minister wanted to legalise cannabis, he would get endless amounts of medical evidence that cannabis is carcinogenic.?

He said when he was minister for drugs he had a large number of scientific reports documenting the link between cannabis and cancer.

??What minister is going to stand up and legalise a substance that will cause cancer in people. The State will be sued as the tobacco companies are being sued. That is one main reason that I cannot see it being legalised.?

He pointed out that Ireland was also signatory to international treaties prohibiting drugs.
With a-holes like that in power,, we will never have a chance of getting
our archaic laws overturned!!

Have a good one! :thumbsup:
