Campaigns

    CLEAR Cannabis Law Reform campaigns for an end to the prohibition of cannabis for all purposes – recreational, medicinal, spiritual and industrial. Of these, for the cannabis plant, the most pressing and most deserving of our attention is to secure the use of cannabis as medicine.

    CLEAR is a campaign and a registered political party. It is not a cannabis users club – there are plenty of organisations and groups filling that role. Our aim is to educate and inform the public, politicians and cannabis users about the harms that prohibition causes and the way proper, controlled legalisation can reduce those harms. To this end we campaign against false reporting in the media, provide harm reduction information to cannabis users and lobby government and its agencies for change.

    Comment Warriors

    Much of the reporting about cannabis in the media is little more than reprints of police or government press releases, sometimes it’s downright lies and scaremongering. Comment Warriors is the CLEAR campaign to address bias and bad reporting wherever we see or hear it – newspapers, radio or TV.

    Most newspapers have websites that allow feedback so Keep an eye on our Facebook page for stories. Help us to get the message out that we will not tolerate blatantly bad reporting.

    Sometimes the reporting is so bad it merits a formal complaint to the Press Complaints Commission (PCC). This is almost a pointless excercise because the PCC is run for the benefit of the newspapers, but it is worth doing and the more complaints they get the better. You can see an archive of older complaints here.
