Welcome to the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party |
|
The Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party exists to legalise cannabis for recreational, spiritual, medicinal and industrial purposes; to empower people to work together for peace and true justice; and to institute a proper and just balance between the power of the state and the rights and dignity of the individual.
The ALCP cannabis/hemp policy provides for adult's home-grown needs as well as prescribed cannabis medicines, and will allow R18 cannabis commerce, but without promotional aspects currently seen with alcohol. Our policy also makes provision for 'expungement' of cannabis convictions. More info

Vote to Legalise Marijuana in 2008 |
|
2008 is election year in New Zealand. This is your opportunity to help change the cannabis laws. The ALCP is currently the 7th most popular political party, with more support than the prohibitionist Progressive Coalition and United Future parties combined (Colmar Brunton poll, March 2008).

- On election day TICK THE LEAF!
By exceeding 5% of the Party vote, the ALCP would gain at least six seats in parliament. This would be be an ideal platform for launching cannabis law reform and establishing a legal 'cottage industry' trade in cannabis and hemp products. (See: Policy Minimum Programme). The key aspects covered by the proposed policy are listed below (click for more info):

ALCP launches West Coast/Tasman candidate |
Steven Wilkinson
|
Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party has accepted Steven Wilkinson as their representative to contest the West Coast/Tasman electorate. This will be Steven Wilkinson's third election and second time representing Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party.
"I've learnt a few things from the last elections. Using the last three years to talk to people in the area, I feel that I have a better understanding of the importance's of the constituent's needs" says Steven Wilkinson.
"I think its important that the individual has a voice. I feel that cannabis users have no voice out there to speak for them. Prohibition places cannabis users into a stigmatising category, which forces them to keep their use secret, in fear of loosing their jobs or worse. While cannabis users do not come from one side of the political spectrum but across the whole swing, from doctors to unemployed, alternatives to farmers. They all know the true harms of prohibition, and that regulation is the only responsible way to handle cannabis in our society". Read More
