Cannabis March in London THIS SUNDAY!!!!! Cannabis March Confirmed for this Sunday
- CANNABIS EDUCATION & RESEARCH TRUST -
May 2005 PRESS/PUBLIC RELEASE
CANNABIS EDUCATION MARCH & RALLY, LONDON SUN 15 MAY 2005
Assembles 1pm at Montague Street, RUSSELL SQUARE, LONDON, WC1 for ‘cannabis carnival' style march, departs 2pm through central London to rally, TRAFALGAR SQUARE, 3-7pm, with speakers & information stalls.
A national 'Cannabis Education March & Rally' is now CONFIRMED for central London on Sunday May 15th. This is an ‘emergency’ cannabis event, organised as a response to new cannabis health concerns, as well as recent calls to return cannabis to being a ‘Class B’ drug offence, which means a return to jailing people simply for possession.
The ‘Cannabis Education March’ is also part of an annual global cannabis campaign with marches this May 2005 in over 150 cities worldwide. The event in London has been organised to fill the gap in Britain after the cancellation of the annual Cannabis March and Festival in Brixton.
The central London event, right after the general election, is being backed by what organisers say is the largest ‘united front’ against the prohibition of cannabis ever assembled in Britain.
“How safe is cannabis? How dangerous is cannabis prohibition?” is the main theme of the event. Aiming to promote a greater understanding of cannabis and cannabis prohibition, it comes after new health concerns.
A route for the march has been agreed with Scotland Yard and the use of Trafalgar Square for a ‘Cannabis Education Rally’ has been approved by the GLA.
The march route passes the British Museum where marchers will leave ‘cannabis prohibition’ in a box for storage. They also pass the TUC Headquarters where a delegation from the ‘National Union of Cannabis Users’ will deliver a motion calling for solidarity against testing for cannabis at work, and for the use of medical cannabis in the NHS.
Speakers confirmed include George Melly, Caroline Coon, Peter Tatchell, Patricia Tabram (Cannabis Grandma), Roger Warren-Evans (Liberty barrister), plus Howard Marks (Mr Nice) calling live from Moscow, (full updated speakers listing on website).
Other speakers include experts on ‘skunk’ and medical cannabis, plus cannabis dealers, growers and campaigners. The nutritional, environmental and industrial uses of hemp will be covered, along with cannabis and mental health, and the science of cannabis. Also invited are political and spiritual representatives, plus individuals from many walks of life.
Issues to be covered include the real cost of prohibition, drug testing at work and school, driving under the influence, the dangers of 'soap bar' (adulterated cannabis), and sniffer dogs.
Political speakers invited include representatives from all the main parties, plus the Legalise Cannabis Alliance which had 18 candidates standing in 21 constituencies in the general election.
Musicians, comedians, poets and artists will all be represented and there will be information areas covering the medical and recreational uses of cannabis, as well as the nutritional and industrial uses of hemp.
“Cannabis prohibition is the most expensive mistake in British legal history” said an organiser; “Prohibition puts public health in far more danger than any amount of cannabis use that might occur if it was legal. Fears that consumption would rise are unfounded, as almost everyone who wants to use cannabis is already doing so, while many people who try cannabis do not like it.”
“Everyone wants a healthier and safer society, so when it comes to issues like cannabis, despite seemingly vast ‘pro’ and ‘anti’ legalisation divisions, most people are actually on the same side; they just can’t agree on how to get there. The way out is to approach the issue in an educated and practical way.

Film funding fiascos.. (from the Grauniad) Funny how he should mention "being treated like a kid" - always felt that was the case when applying for work experience etc in media places
for those who are not conversant with terms used in finance - "Equity" means investment either from a groups own capital or via sale of shares to outside investors.
Auntie spending 84% on US films? That's fucking outrageous IMO though..
[font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Cinema levy call to save film industry[/font][font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]Owen Gibson, media correspondent
[/font][font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]Tuesday May 10, 2005
[/font][font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]Guardian
[/font][font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]The respected film producer Michael Kuhn last night warned that the "hour is dark" for the British film industry, accusing the lottery-funded Film Council of treating producers like "ralcalcitrant schoolboys". [/font][font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]He said that unless urgent action was taken by the government, the BBC and others, indigenous British film-making could die out. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]The former president of Polygram Films, which revolutionised Hollywood in the 1990s and enjoyed a string of hits including Four Weddings and a Funeral, Fargo and Notting Hill, said that the situation had appreciably worsened in the past five years despite £323m of lottery money investment by the Film Council. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]Mr Kuhn, who now runs Qwerty Films, warned that indigenous British films costing under £10m were being squeezed by a number of factors. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]"As many of these sources of funding are expiring or are themselves dependent on tax regimes, there is less equity about. So the hour is dark. Darker I think than most years in my lifetime," said Mr Kuhn, delivering the inaugural Pact Film Lecture in London last night. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]He calculated that even hit films like Shaun of the Dead failed to bring in any money at the cinema, and without extra investment would be left to rely on domestic television rights and video sales just to claw back production costs. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]The film industry is lobbying against proposed changes to the tax regime that will cut investment in British movies, and is attempting to persuade the government to force the BBC to invest more in British films as part of the charter renewal process. Another solution, Mr Kuhn suggested, would be a levy on those who "benefit directly and indirectly from the UK film industry", especially cinema owners. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]Pointing to the level of current interest in acquiring cinema chains among venture capital companies, he said that such a levy would "offend no one and benefit many" and generate £70m to £80m a year. Mr Kuhn's speech, which he said was "born out of rage", also hit out at the Film Council, the quango established in 2000 to boost the British film industry. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]"To many of us it seems that this Janus-like body, representing us to the government but not representing us; representing government to the industry but helpless in light of, and blindsided by, recent tax changes, not hearing criticism, is in need of reform itself," he said. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]Setting out an action plan to save the industry, Mr Kuhn said that the Film Council should take a more strategic approach to its investments. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]It should immediately launch a new fund dedicated to lending the "last £1m that a film needs to get into production", underwrite a borrowing facility against foreign sales and start a central fund to pre-buy digital rights. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]In the medium term, the government should look at his levy idea and force the BBC and other broadcasters to invest more in British films. Research commissioned by Pact last year showed that the BBC spent 84% of its £73.2m acquisition budget on US films. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]In the long term the industry should face up to the opportunities and challenges offered by digital distribution and video on demand over the internet. [/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]"It can happen if they [the Film Council] will change and see the production community as partners in this great endeavour and not ralcalcitrant schoolboys to be whipped into shape," he said.[/font]

Mark Pritchard is one of the most important producers of electronic music over the last decade and a bit, as one half of Global Communications (with Tom Middleton) he set the template for most ambient music, made one of the best electronica albums ever as Reload, was pivotal in kick starting the electro revival as one half (again with Tom Middleton) of the Jedi Knights and has flitted at will between house, electro, drum and bass, techno and modern soul with ease. It is with great pleasure that we welcome him down to Jacks.
