Hundreds March to Legalise Cannabis

category dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Sunday May 09, 2010 21:49author by Paula Geraghty Report this post to the editors

Huyndreds of mostly young working class kids came out to protest and demand that using cannabis is decriminalised.

Hundreds of people lit up the odd spliff and some under the watchful gaze of the Gardaí as they marched from Parnell Square to the Daíl and all the back again to Parnell Square.

Roscommon county Councillor Luke Flanagan described his optimism for the future of the campaign to decriminalise Cannabis saying how five years ago he didn't think it would have been possible.

The kids rocked, the van rolled, lighters passed around to what was a very peaceful and chilled out protest.

Well, what did yis expect?
