| http://pr.cannazine.co.uk : Legalise Cannabis Ireland are calling for an end to the criminalisation of people who smoke cannabis for "personal lifestyle and health choices".
| It will be the second march of its kind organised by Legalise Cannabis Ireland (LCI) through the capital city.
According to the organisations "Bebo" social-networking website, "Last Years March on May 6th was considered a big success by all involved. Weather wasn't great, but still the turn-out was!
|  | About 1000 people took part. Which was good for the first year, but we are expecting much bigger turn-out this year. There was a great buzz at it, really energetic, colorful and no trouble at all.

| "We do not believe in promoting use of cannabis to anyone. "Cannabis use is an individual decision that should be made after educating oneself about benefits and risks,
| but particularly to people with young minds/brains that are not fully developed and may be at higher risk to negative effects of psychoactive substances. 
However wrong or right, it is fact that people (including young people) use and abuse cannabis. Therefore we believe it is better to try and educate people, about the dangers and risks involved and hope they make the right decision for themselves."
Principles We believe the use of cannabis ought to be a matter of choice and not of law. The prohibition of cannabis inhibits the use of a beneficial resource and has not worked in it's aim of combating criminal gangs.
It has in fact made these vicious gangs a lot more powerful and a huge danger to society. The legalisation of cannabis is a very important step that should be taken to benefit the people and their environment.
Aims To achieve the full legalisation and utilisation of the cannabis plant for the good of the people, on a local, national and international level.
To encourage extensive research into the many beneficial uses of cannabis including industrial, social and medical uses for the good of the people.
To end all criminal prosecutions for the use of cannabis as a social or private relaxant. To provide a voice for those in society persecuted and prosecuted for cannabis activities that victimise none.
In short, PROHIBITION DOES NOT WORK AND NEVER HAS!
