HOW CAN YOU HELP IRELAND’S CANNABIS PARTY?

1. There are 24 topics under the dropdown menus where your ideas and/or comments are needed. If you’re concerned about anonymity then don’t fill in the identifier form below the comments box, and post as normal.
2. If you can get involved in activism check out the Resources for Activists menu.

 

HOW CAN YOU HELP TO CHANGE THE LAW?

1. Register as a member of Ireland’s Cannabis Party or any political group that supports legalisation.
2. Try to speak to your local political representatives. Phone their constituency offices or write to ask for an appointment. Expressing your views in writing is probably a waste of time. Only by talking to them face to face or on the phone can you be sure you’re opinions have been heard. It may not be possible to meet or speak to all of your local TDs but you should be able to speak to somebody who can deal with your request.
3. Write to An Taoiseach and the relevant ministers (they have to reply).
4. If there isn’t a Cannabis Social Club in your area then start one yourself.
5. Use any online means at your disposal to progress legalisation efforts.
6. Make up your own posters and put them up in public places.
7. Write public letters and do letter drops.
8. Make up flyers and hand them out yourself.
9. For the more adventurous, ironic/comedic stunts that get media attention would be a real treat. Provided nobody gets hurt. Whatever you get up to, don’t forget to blame Ireland’s Cannabis Party for it.

 

WHY IRELAND’S CANNABIS PARTY?

1. To stand up for the rights and liberty of Irish citizens during this period of prohibition.
2. To give fair-minded people who support legalisation the opportunity to use our proportional representation system to also support our candidates.
3. To become a focus for the hundreds of groups around Ireland. Something they could all support.
4. To give people with no faith in politics, something to vote for.
5. To become part of a worldwide network of political parties that support the legalisation of cannabis.

 

HOW DO WE DO IT?

1. We need 300 people to register as members of Ireland’s Cannabis Party
2. We need them to attend a National Convention that will decide the future of the party, vote on a Party Constitution and elect party officials.
3. Whoever has been elected by the party members will then apply for recognition as an official political party. If you want to see the regulations for yourself then check out this link at Citizen’s Information.
