Cannabis is illegal based on old fashioned opinions and beliefs, not facts and practice. The current system has never worked and will never work. The illegality of cannabis has failed completely and has allowed suppliers to bulk up their product with GLASS, LEAD and CHEMICALS. Users have been left marginalised, uneducated, ill and criminalised by this failed law. Experience is the method of education and we are leaving generations of people to figure everything out alone
"I cannot think of any law that has done more damage in terms of social upheaval, parent-child alienation and police-public hostility" Mr
- When cannabis is legal again..
- Dealers will disappear. It will have to meet a high health standard. People who need it medically will be able to grow their own cheap medicine. People wont be wasting Gardai time and Tax payers money by going through the criminal system. It will collect huge tax revenue. A Billion euro industry will be forced into the economy (money spent on cannabis will be spent on consumer goods/services). People wont have to associate with criminals to get stoned. We will see a huge boom in the Hemp Industry - Hemp produces 4 times as much pulp as trees (for paper. you can also make plastic, concrete, clothes and thousands of other products from it). It will create jobs. It will feed other industries - food, cinema, etc. Parents can be educated about all the facts instead of blindly catagorising cannabis as bad. People wont have to hide something that is perfectly ok and natural
- Uses of hemp
- I couldnt fit the many uses of hemp in here because there are simply too many. Check out the blog http://www.bebo.com/BlogView.jsp?Mem...
- Drugs.
- No drugs are dangerless but cannabis is more dangerous illegal. Do you think it will go away? Dealers will continue to profit. Prohibition has allowed people to CONTAMINATE their product to bulk up the weight for extra profits. In Ireland we have experienced a quantity of cannabis sprayed with LEAD, GLASS and CHEMICALS. This is a very serious problem and is getting harder and harder to detect.
- Medical Marijuana
- Marijuana provides symptomatic relief for a number of medical conditions, including nausea and vomiting, stimulating appetite, promoting weight gain, and diminishing intraocular pressure from glaucoma. There is also evidence that smoked marijuana and/or THC reduces muscle spasticity from spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis, and diminishes tremors in multiple sclerosis patients. Patients and physicians have also reported that smoked marijuana provides relief from migraine headaches, depression, seizures, insomnia and chronic pain, among other conditions.

- We have had 2 fundraising events so far, Reggae/DJ and Metal. We plan on keeping the momentum of the campaign going with at least a gig a month. We try to support local bands, and will flier the gig and get you as big an audience as we can! The plan is to get as many venues and genres as possible, so if you'd like to participate contact us!

Cannabis Could Save Thousands of Cancer Patients Say Doctors
ts been announced cancer kills more British citizens than in most other European country's, but there is a cure. We're just not allowed to have it.
Image
On a day its been announced in The Daily Mail that Great Britain has some of the worst cancer survival rates in the world, it would be reprehensible beyoned belief if it were proven a cure for a great deal of otherwise terminal cancers, a disease which will touch 1 in 3 of us in our lives, had been on the table since 1970.
The figures published today come from the hugely respected Eurocare-4 study, which compared the five-year survival rates of 2.7million adult patients up to 2004.
Initially it was understood GB PLC was performing badly, but the final calculations, published today in the European Journal of Cancer, show the situation is even worse than feared.
Just 41.4 per cent of men and 51.4 per cent of women found to have cancer survive longer than five years after diagnosis - down on the 42 per cent and 53 per cent figures previously reported.
Experts blame NHS waste, drug rationing and a lack of cancer specialists for the shameful showing.
But another news report published by CannaZine Cannabis News has also been receiving some attention. so much so in fact, its taken over 30,000 web visitors in a single 24 hour period, showing just how strongly the public feels about this.
The news report tells of a study published recently in Nature Reviews-Cancer, which provides an historic and detailed explanation about how THC
and natural cannabinoids counteract cancer, but preserve normal cells.
The study by Manuel Guzmán of Madrid Spain found that cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibit tumor growth in laboratory animals.
They do so by modulating key cell-signalling pathways, thereby inducing direct growth arrest and death of tumor cells, as well as by inhibiting the growth of blood vessels that supply the tumor.
The Guzman study is very important according to Dr. Ethan Russo , a neurologist and world authority on medical cannabis:
"Cancer occurs because cells become immortalized; they fail to heed normal signals to turn off growth. A normal function of remodelling in the body requires that cells die on cue. This is called apoptosis, or programmed cell death.
That process fails to work in tumors. THC promotes its reappearance so that gliomas, leukemias, melanomas and other cell types will in fact heed the signals, stop dividing, and die."
"But, that is not all," explains Dr. Russo: "The other way that tumors grow is by ensuring that they are nourished: they send out signals to promote angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels. Cannabinoids turn off these signals as well. It is truly incredible, and elegant."
Click Here to read the full amazing story of how we can cure cancer if we really want to, and then please, e-mail your MP and ask why we're not doing so.
Literally tens of thousands of lives depend on your e-mail, so thank you for taking the time to send it.

Harry J. Anslinger : The 'Godfather' of the war on drugs
Marijuana: "Assassin of Youth"
"Colored students at the Univ. of Minn. partying with (white) female students, smoking [marijuana] and getting their sympathy with stories of racial persecution. Result: pregnancy"
"Two Negros took a girl fourteen years old and kept her for two days under the influence of hemp. Upon recovery she was found to be suffering from syphilis."
"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others."
"Marijuana makes Negroes eat other Negroes when they get the munchies."
"...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races."
"Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death."
"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."
"Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing"
"You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother."
"Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind."
- Harry J. Anslinger headed the Federal Bureau of Narcotics for 31 years
- His biggest contribution to the so-called "reefer madness" propaganda movement was the 1937 Marijuana Transfer Tax Act
