#FreePatrickMoore


In December 2022, at Limerick District Court, Patrick was sentenced to five years in prison for growing cannabis and giving cannabis oil, free-of-charge, to people in dreadful pain, some at the end of life.
This is not justice, it is persecution. Patrick must be freed from prison now!

This is not just about Pat’s freedom
but about lack of access to cannabis as medicine


Ireland’s Medical Cannabis Access Programme is designed to fail because in Ireland the medical establishment refuses to accept the value of cannabis.

Throughout the EU, hundreds of thousands of people are legally prescribed cannabis but in Ireland a small group of senior doctors is blocking progress. It makes us one of the most backwards countries in Europe with thousands of people left in unnecessary pain.

If we had proper access, Pat would never have felt it necessary to grow cannabis in the first place. Instead, GPs would be able to prescribe it and the HSE would be able to save a great deal of money on much more expensive but ineffective drugs.

We’re calling for justice for Patrick Moore
and for better access to medicinal cannabis

  • Alison Moore

    – Patrick’s wife
    “My husband is not a criminal. There are no victims of his crime – he only helped people.”
  • Michael Moore

    – Patrick’s son
    “I love my father. He is a kind, humble man. Legalise it!”
  • Alex Moore

    – Patrick’s daughter
    “My father turned his prison into a fortress, through love and compassion.”
  • Gino Kenny TD

    – Elected politician
    “It’s a travesty that Patrick Moore continues to be imprisoned.
    We appeal to the authorities to immediately free him from this completely unjust decision.”
  • Violet-Anne Wynne TD

    – Elected politician

    “Patrick stepped in to help his community where the state has failed to provide medicinal cannabis. He should not be in jail.”

  • Peter Reynolds

    – President of CLEAR Cannabis Law Reform
    “Pat is a man who does good for others. He is not a criminal. Please free him from prison now!”
  • Natalie O’Regan

    – Lawyer and drugs policy expert

    “In a flawed system, Patrick provided life-changing medical cannabis free of charge. His unjust sentence demands revision. We call on authorities to free Patrick and expand medical cannabis access in Ireland”

  • Fachtna Roe

    – Human Rights Activist & Political Campaigner

    “If there were more people like Patrick, the southern ‘republic’ would be a far less toxic place to live.”

  • Crainn

    – Sensible drugs policy solutions based on harm reduction, education and community

    “Patrick should not be in jail. Imprisonment for assisting those in pain shows the profound cruelty of Ireland’s cannabis laws.”
