I've to administer the elections (although the Electoral Commission(TM) have overall decision-making power and can and do tell me what to do), hence no preferences will be expressed!

Your votes for a Yes to a Union that supports Cannabis legalisation would be a vote well used.

Nietzschean

Agent Smith

There's also a Coke & Nestle referendum at the same time (that's one referendum on the two issues), as well as the referendum gom mentioned about supporting legalisation of cannabis etc.

Nah, not really. Although we do get some amazingly abusive emails, which from time to time, I print out and stick up on my wall, just to keep me honest

"A big pile of flaming turds" was one description of the SU that I particularly cherish.

Ah spontaneous combustion

Clearly Aids arrived after they first banned Cannabis in the 40s.
ON a serious note:
We should legalise Cannabis to provent terminally ill Aids patients for having to pay Drugs companies crazy money for painkillers when they can just grow Cannabis and enjoy the fruits of their own Labour.
As we all should

Kevin_rc_ie

so what are the referenda?

xeduCat

Nestlé/Coke
Do you support the removal of the ban on the stock and sale of Nestlé and Coca-Cola products in Students' Union shops and the removal of the policy not to enter into any sponsorship arrangements with those corporations?

Legalise Cannabis
Do you agree to mandate the Students' Union to:
1) lobby the government and campaign to immediately decriminalise the possession of small amounts of cannabis for personal use

2) lobby the government and campaign for the full legalisation of cannabis for medical, research and recreational use

3) campaign for the Trinity College campus to be made a cannabis friendly zone.
