We are running a competition and the winner will be played on LCA myspace for one month.

We are inviting bands, individuals, and fans to place a link to your myspace where the song is listed) on our forum at http://www.lca-uk.org/lcaforum/

This means registering on the forum which is not a difficult process.

Then you can find the relevant page and add the URL of your myspace, also thetitle of song, name of artist and any other blurb you wish to add.

We will convert it to a poll we can all invite people to listen to your song and give it points 0 to 5. At the end of the month, or close to it, we will work out the winner and "add" the song to LCA myspace. The next month you can enter a new song, or the same again.

Of course we hope that this will bring more people to our forum to join in, and more people to join the LCA.

PRINCIPLES

• We believe the use of cannabis ought to be a matter of choice and not of law.
• We believe that the prohibition of cannabis is against the public interest.
• We believe that the prohibition of cannabis contravenes Human Rights.
• We believe that the prohibition of cannabis inhibits the use of a beneficial resource.
• We believe that the legalisation of cannabis is a very important step that should be taken to benefit the people and their environment.

AIMS

• To hasten the full legalisation and utilisation of the cannabis plant for the good of the peoples of this world, on a local, national and international level.
• To secure the release of all prisoners convicted only of cannabis offences and to ensure that all criminal records for cannabis offences are expunged.
• To encourage public and private research into the many beneficial uses of cannabis including industrial, social and medical uses for the good of the people.
• To halt all criminal prosecutions for the use of cannabis as a social or private relaxant including its uses as a sacrament or in religious or other ritual.
• To provide a voice for those in society persecuted and prosecuted for cannabis activities that victimise none.

PROPOSALS

• That cannabis and cannabis products should be removed from the UK Misuse of Drugs Act, thereby being legalised.
• That the possession, cultivation and use of pure cannabis and cannabis products be free from prosecution.
• That cannabis be re-introduced into our society.
• That high priority be given to the cultivation of cannabis for the express purpose of the localised production of virtually cost-free fuels through the process of pyrolysis on cannabis biomass, and as a source of fibre and hurd.
• That provision be made to enable the setting up of public establishments where the use of cannabis is permitted.
• That provision be made to enable the setting up of outlets for the legal supply of cannabis.
• That at least the same level of protection be given to the cannabis consumer as is given to the consumers of other commodities: weights and measures, quality etc.
• That all prisoners presently held only on cannabis convictions or charges be released from custody without delay and that all criminal records for cannabis offences be expunged.

OUR FORMATION AND STRUCTURE

The Legalise Cannabis Alliance was formed as a political party in 1999, in order to bring the cannabis debate into politics in Britain; we fought in over 80 elections - local and parliamentary, gaining up to 7% of the vote. (click)

On November 11th 2006, an LCA Conference voted to de-register as a political party, and continue to campaign as a pressure group (click here for more details) Generally people felt that we had achieved as much as we could as a party standing in elections, at this time - we could now seek support from and apply more pressure to change the policies of other political parties - and we could always re-register if they do not fight for legalisation.
