2026 Elections 7th November

ALCP create solutions, not promises

Our Approach

Our approach to cannabis law reform is grounded in evidence, compassion, and community leadership. We believe drug policy should prioritise health over punishment, reduce harm, and address the injustices caused by prohibition — particularly for Māori and other communities disproportionately affected. By combining international best practice with Aotearoa’s unique social and cultural context, we advocate for practical, regulated solutions that protect people, strengthen communities, and uphold dignity and choice.
