Political party in New Zealand advocating for cannabis law reform

The Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party (ALCP) is a political party in New Zealand that advocates for the legalisation of cannabis. The party was founded in 1996 and has participated in several general elections, although it has not won any seats in the New Zealand Parliament.

History

The Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party was established in response to growing public support for cannabis law reform in New Zealand. The party's primary goal is to change the legal status of cannabis, allowing for its regulated use for medicinal, recreational, and industrial purposes.

Since its inception, the ALCP has campaigned in every general election, promoting policies that focus on the benefits of cannabis legalisation, including potential economic gains, health benefits, and the reduction of crime associated with the illegal cannabis trade.

Policies

The ALCP's policies are centered around the legalisation and regulation of cannabis. Key policy points include:

• Medicinal Cannabis: Advocating for the legal use of cannabis for medicinal purposes, allowing patients to access cannabis-based treatments with a prescription.
• Recreational Use: Supporting the legalisation of cannabis for recreational use, with regulations similar to those for alcohol and tobacco.
• Industrial Hemp: Promoting the cultivation and use of industrial hemp for a variety of products, including textiles, food, and biofuels.
• Education and Research: Encouraging research into the benefits and risks of cannabis use and providing public education on responsible consumption.

Election Results

The ALCP has participated in every general election since 1996. While the party has not secured any seats in Parliament, it has consistently raised awareness about cannabis law reform and influenced public discourse on the issue.

General Elections

The party's best performance was in the 1996 general election, where it received 1.66% of the party vote. In subsequent elections, the party's share of the vote has varied, reflecting changing public attitudes towards cannabis legalisation.

Impact and Influence

Despite not winning seats, the ALCP has played a significant role in shaping the conversation around cannabis in New Zealand. The party's advocacy has contributed to increased public support for cannabis law reform, culminating in the 2020 cannabis referendum. Although the referendum did not pass, it demonstrated significant public interest in the issue.
