The
Qualifications of Officers
We need campaigners who are known leaders of State
or National campaigner groups who are good team
workers, have proven experience of working for
cannabis law reform and who are able to keep in
touch with the legal news and events in their area
and share them with the membership of our Group on
our FaceBook group Wall.
We are looking for people who have background and
experience in this respect, people who can work
under their own initiative, yet work as part of a
friendly Team, people who are well aware of the
differences between cannabis advocacy, cannabis
ideology and cannabis law reform and therefore
perform in a way that reflects their cannabis law
reform regional agenda in their postings to our
group.
This is, essentially, the criteria we employ for
recruiting Officers at LCI.
If you:
1) are an
experienced campaigner of a
known
cannabis
law reform group. If you are not the
leader of a campaign group, please discuss this
Officer post with your group leader before
applying to be an Officer. We don't want anyone to
be offended.
2) are
a
regular contributor to the LCI FB group
and thus known to the LCI coordinator.
then please read our "
about"
page to check that you are on board with the aims
of LCI,
check here, to
see if your country or region already has an
Officer with LCI and please become familiar with
the
LCI FB posting rules
(which, of necessity, are strictly enforced.)
If you agree with the aims and purpose of LCI, the
role of Officers and the posting rules, please
send your details and campaign group details with
links, for consideration, to the email address at
the bottom of this page. Please do not send a FB
message. The group coordinator will then be very
happy to discuss your being an Officer with LCI.
Thank you.
Exclusions as to
who can be an Officer at LCI
LCI promotes only the cause of cannabis law
reform, not the persona, popularity or the
personal experiences of the campaigner. There
are plenty of advocacy groups that have
personal testimony, chat etc. along with many
forums on the web where people can discuss
themselves. It is the quietly dedicated work
of campaigners that will advance the cause of
cannabis law reform, not people seeking to
draw attention to themselves as campaigners.
There is a big difference between what Officers
are allowed to post on the LCI group Wall and what
they might like to post on their own Walls or own
groups, which they operate as they choose.
Here at LCI, we insist that all posts are of a
pro-legislate nature - i.e. they inform group
members about the cannabis campaign moving forward
on a law reform basis. We assume that every member
of our LCI group has joined the group because they
believe that cannabis law reform is necessary, so
nobody needs any convincing, in this respect. On
this basis, material such as personal testimony
posts, such as videos and articles, are not
allowed. We are not an educational group - we are
a cannabis law reform group and this is not an
issue of "freedom of speech" here. Every group has
its method of working and LCI is no exception. We
want to know what is happening in the world of
cannabis law reform and what initiatives are being
taken to bring about this cannabis law reform -
this is all we care about here at LCI. Our LCI
posting rules are
here.
Removal of
Officers at LCI
Officers who continually seek to draw attention to
themselves, their videos, their books, their
whatever, instead of cannabis law reform or who
continue to make posts that are not of a cannabis
law reform nature will be removed.
We do not allow Officers to externally promote
themselves as Officers of LCI without making input
to our FB group. To do so would be a one-sided
exercise - not to mention that the news from the
Officer's region is not forthcoming, which is a
great loss to our group members. Working with LCI
as an Officer is a two-way street in that Officers
are able to promote their regional news, rallies,
demos etc and LCI gets to have more Officers under
the LCI umbrella group, so that our group members
can access all of the world's cannabis campaign
news under one roof, which is probably the main
reason why so many people are members of our LCI
FB group.
On this basis, we have to say that Officers who do
not keep the LCI FB group regularly updated with
their campaign group news will be removed as
Officers, and informed accordingly. The long-term
absence of posting group news is, in effect, a
silent resignation of no longer being an LCI
Officer. We don't like it, our members don't like
it - nobody likes it, but there it is.
Moderating the
LCI group
Please bear in mind that moderating the LCI group
to keep the group on track towards cannabis law
reform is not an easy task, especially since there
are many uses for cannabis which include medical
use, recreational use and spiritual use, to name
but a few, and all of which are generally (but not
exclusively) used as serious alternatives to pharm
meds, alcohol and organised religion. It remains
that there are still a lot of people who have not
yet been able to focus on what our LCI objectives
are. Yes, it would be so easy to have none of the
exclusions and removals - but what direction would
our group be moving towards if we did not employ
this criteria? We have seen many campaign groups
bite the dust - for many reasons - and we don't
want to see LCI go the same way.
Question: What does "bit the dust" mean, in this
context? Answer: It means that a) the group
disbands because of lack of support due to loss of
original purpose or b) Plods along, but becomes
totally ineffective because of internal
competitiveness, sniping and/or backbiting amongst
campaigners or c) Plods along, but becomes totally
ineffective because the group has either a) lost
its original vision of cannabis law reform or b)
fails to implement a policy to maintain the focus
on cannabis law reform.
LCI needs to remain true to its vision of cannabis
law reform if the issue is going to move forward
and draw support for cannabis law reform from the
broader community. Our understanding and
acceptance of these points are crucial to our
method of working in achieving our communal goal
of changing the laws of cannabis prohibition.
Thank you for reading this far, and thank you for
your understanding.
