 Ireland's first cannabis policy reform organisation, the Centre for Cannabis Policy Reform Ireland (CCPR) launched their website and campaign this week. The group, in close association with the Colorado-based Safer Alternative For Alternative Recreation (SAFER), who successfully campaigned to legalise the possession of less than an ounce of cannabis, aim to educate the public about the fact that cannabis is safer than alcohol, that prohibition is a failure, and that a system of regulation must be put in place. The organisation's director Kiel Cathers said, "We want to deliver the message, as acknowledged by the mainstream medical and scientific opinion on the matter, that cannabis is safer than alcohol both in its effects on the individual and the community, and that alternatives to prohibition must be explored if we are to solve the drug problem" |
