Legalise Cannabis Ireland

Legalise Cannabis Ireland (LCI) is a civil society campaign that seeks the legalisation of cannabis in Ireland. It was founded in mid-2007, by people who had come together to organize Ireland's first ever anti-prohibition march in May 2007. The campaign has produced leaflets on topics such as medical use of cannabis, the problems caused by prohibition, as well as contaminated cannabis, which it says is a particular problem in Ireland. Castlerea councillor Luke Flanagan is a frequent speaker at LCI events.
The group is working to become a registered political party. Its main goals are -
* To hasten the full legalisation and utilisation of the cannabis plant for the good of the people of this world on a local, national and international level
* To secure the release of all prisoners convicted only of cannabis offences and to ensure that all criminal records for cannabis offences are expunged
* To encourage public and private research into the many beneficial uses of cannabis including industrial, social and medical uses for the good of all the people
* To halt all criminal prosecutions for the use of cannabis as a social or private relaxant, including its uses as a sacrament or in religious rituals
* To provide a voice for those in society persecuted and prosecuted for cannabis activities that victimise none
