Legalise Cannabis Ireland in association with Electronic Resistance is proud to bring you the first in a series of gigs in the run up to the 2008 anti-prohibition march.
The gigs are hoped to raise awareness of the issues and bring people closer to the campaign,hopefully with the result of more involvement and participation to make the 2008 an even bigger success than in 2007.
 Gig - Drop along for a chat 2008 - another step towards the end of prohibition.
2007 was a good start but this year the Cannabis community really needs to make its mark on Irish society and show those in government that we will not take no for an answer.. To avoid a clash with the annual Trade Unions Mayday march, this years rally will take place on the 10h of May, assembling at the Garden of Remembrance at 2.30pm.
A carnival atmosphere will be the theme, with everyone encouraged to bring as much colour, noise and energy as they can. All those involved in musical, artist, clown and street theatre groups are asked to bring out their talents on the day.
For those who can’t make it on the 10th and for those who can, a number of gigs & events have been organised in the build up to the march.
Awareness Gigs are being held in Eamon Doran’s, Templebar on the 18th 0f April and the 3rd of May.
There will also a huge celebration on the night of the 10th in the
Voodoo Lounge- stay tuned for the lineups for the other 3 events but expect to see some of Dublin's hottest up & coming bands & DJs as well as a great show of support from tokers everywhere.
Agitate, educate, mobilise!

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1Yes, I have a problem with slogans. They become mantras: constant repetition feeds wishful thinking in the face of unbending reality.
In 1917 the Bolsheviks chanted the inspirational slogan to war-weary Russian workers, peasants and soldiers in St. Petersburg and Moscow - Bread, Land & Peace. They cleverly agitated for the removal of Kerensky and his lukewarm social democrat programme. Afterwards Stalin decimated the kulaks (family farmers), caused food shortages with forced collectivisation, and encouraged Hitler's aggressive war expansionism with his diplomatic entente with the nazi state. No bread, land and peace in Soviet Russia sadly.
In the late 1960s Dr. Timothy O'Leary coined the infamous slogan in relation to "dropping acid" as LSD and other drug tripping was then known - Turn on, Tune in and Drop out. So many impressionable students in the USA and elsewhere did just that. Some threw themselves from highrise apartment windows, others ended up in mental asylums, yet others lived to regret flunking their exams and spending their lives in unfulfilling unskilled work.
You think political activists will be "beneficiaries" of the legalise cannabis campaign? Nope. The bourgeois students and the yuppy nightclubbers and the aging liberals are the main ones who want to enjoy their hash without worrying about police hassle. They want to relax from the stresses of doing work that makes them rich, while a few dedicated radical activists do the spadework of trying to mobilise public opinion on the legalisation question. Even if the health aspects of hash are argued away and the legislators are convinced to make it legal, it will become business as usual as entrepreneurs, some of them financial backers of political parties, get their applications in fast to obtain licences for the importation and sale of cannabis.
Are you saying people cant do all the above and then relax how they see fit?
Id say some of the greatest activists in history enjoyed a drink and maybe even a joint,intheir relaxation time who knows?
Or isyour problem just with punchy slogans?
Slogans are punchy and you shout yours, viz. - ' Agitate, educate, mobilise! '
Yes, and get stoned.
