1. I can't thank you all enough for the support you have shown for the #BringAliciaHome campaign organised by @MartinsWorld420 of @pfsa_ireland. We have had people walking in Ireland, the UK, Spain, Portugal, America, Canada, Australia and Thailand! 2.
We are going to let the campaign run until the end of the week for those who couldn't make it yesterday. If you decide to take part, please take a picture of your walk and share online with the hastags #BringAliciaHome and #CannabisReformIreland.
