Planting 6 cannabis plants in Cork city, Ireland for a Civil Disobedience Protest

This is a protest I held in Cork city where I went and planted 6 Cannabis plants in the city with tags marked with the #BringAliciaHome & #TalkToVera If you happen to be in the city then swing by to the Shandon footbridge and get some photos of the plants enjoying the city vibes and share them on social media using the 2 hashtags .

Cannabis is still illegal here in Ireland where simple possession of 1 gram of Cannabis can get you 1 year in prison (max) and a €2500 fine (max) and also with this will be a criminal conviction that stays with you for life that will not only make it harder to travel internationally , it also makes it much harder to secure a job.

Patients here in Ireland are still at the mercy of drug dealers who are not required to maintain a minimum standard of quality. The government have been dragging the feet on this issue now for over 5 years which has left with me no choice but to engage in these protests of Civil Disobedience.

The growing of Cannabis plants in Ireland is punishable with up to 14 years in prison (max) and also a €2500 fine (max) . So if a patient or a caregiver were to be caught growing this is the potential outcome for them for trying not to support organised crime gangs. The growing of the Cannabis plant should not be a criminal matter and patients should have fair and effective access to cannabis as a medicine.

    Fair play to you Martin, it’s a disgrace the amount of money being spent to keep people in prison for something as insignificant as possession of cannabis.

    Fair play martin it’s time allot of people in this country realise that we are not criminals and continuing the prohibition will in turn continue lining the pokets of criminal gangs #LEGALISEIRELAND

    We should approach businesses with a potted plant to put inside their windows to show real solidarity with cannabis consumers.

    Love it.. High time this soft conviction for gards was taken away from them. I was searched 12 times just in the last 12 months as well with no finds, no convictions, no charges and a truck load of abuse off absolute muppets of gards. Im 43. Nothing else on my criminal record to warrent the continued searches and police attention other than that these gobshites think its a nice easy score for them on their work record. They literally patrol douglas looking for the young fellas and search them with no evidence of any crimes, just fishing for a hit..

    The economic hardship , recession , unemployment and the loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures .



  27. Lee Mandy on July 9, 2022 at 9:21 pm

    Where can I get some I have a bad bad pain in my back and I need help 😫

    Greening the city. Awesome Martin.



  31. Irish Hemp Harvest on July 9, 2022 at 9:25 pm

    That’s great work, well done Martin. You can buy 500g of hemp seeds online for about €12 which is over 25,000 seeds. With 100 people doing this we’d have over 2,500,000 seeds between us. If we all did this, we’d really have an impact on getting the media talking about cannabis legalisation.
