Martins World episode 34 with Charlene one of the organisers of the major protest for Cannabis Reform

In this episode of the podcast I get to chat with Charlene one of the organisers of the Major Smoke up protest in the Phoenix park on the 10th of July @2pm by the Wellington monument. Last years protest went down really well with no interference from the authorities with the people who showed up to protest (consume cannabis) . This year the protest will include a march that will bring the protesters past the Criminal courts for Justice, the Director for Public Prosecutions and the Garda Headquarters . Make sure to bring banners to express your views and opinions to the public. The media should be there taking photos and covering the protest so make sure you represent the community well . Also on the day will be a raffle to win some really good prizes including a Storz and Bickel Mighty vaporizer . Enjoy the chat in this episode and I hope to see ye there on the day of the protest.
