As modified by myself (please see Laurel Bush) the article aims to provide an objective view of the LCA, representiing faithfullly the LCA's own aims and beliefs but not therefore endorsing them. The article does rely heavily however on LCA sources (not least Leagalise and untilise 2000. The party's history is a major portion of the article: this begins with a record of the party's performance in the most recent general election and but then jumps back to the party's origins, to start the story which leads up to more recent events. I aim to update this history after the next general election. Laurel Bush 17:10, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC).

[edit] Cannabis (drug)

This article must be linked in the opening paragraph. Failure to do see is dishonest to our readers. the way I have done it is done in many articles. otherwise you will foirce me to completely rewrite the opening paragraph. LCA is fundamentally about legalising the drug, SqueakBox 16:19, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

I hope you like my new attempt. I don't mind where in the opening paragraph Cannabis (drug) is linked, but it is imperative that it be so, SqueakBox 16:30, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

I am about to put cannnabis as a drug into the opening paragraph. I cant see it as essential. Is there anyone who does not know of cannabis as a drug source?. Laurel Bush 10:11, 12 August 2005 (UTC).

That looks fine, SqueakBox 13:36, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks SqueakBox, but I'm not quite happy myself. In LCA literature there is a strong emphasis on the use of cannabis as a medicine, as represented in Wikipedia by Medical cannabis, and clear reference to the issue of whether distinctions between recreational and theraputic use have any real value. I am thinking that, in the fist paragraph, interpretation of LCA meaning by links to other Wikipedia articles might be better effected by use of a footnote. Laurel Bush 14:11, 12 August 2005 (UTC).

I think that falls outside standard wikipedia practice. I will have a look at the literature again later today. Cannabis (drug) isn't just about so called rercreational use, SqueakBox 14:14, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up tag

That "clean up" needs some explanation. Laurel Bush 09:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC).

The current tag seems to imply that the article has been considered for deletion. Is this true? Laurel Bush 16:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Update needed

Article seems to need update. I believe LCA has become a pressure group rather than a political party. It no longer fields election candidates. Laurel Bush 11:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Legalise Cannabis Alliance 2.gif

Image:Legalise Cannabis Alliance 2.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
