DEMONSTRATE the social advantages to ending cannabis prohibition
Prohibition is an infringement on the human rights and freedom of the people of our nation, it threatens individuals� security by limiting them to a criminal network for supply. It also undermines the possibility of promoting the concept of responsible use.

One of the consequence of prohibition is that several individuals have a criminal record solely for cannabis infractions. These individual�s lives are permanently scarred. Ending cannabis prohibition would eliminate the stigma and the alienation of these individuals by no longer labelling them as criminals. A society that claims to be based on justice and law cannot tolerate these prohibitionist policies.

Industrial hemp presents numerous advantages for the environment but prohibition of recreational marijuana is responsible for the excessive control measures. This means that hemp farming is not on a level playing field with other agricultural products. Our policies would serve to reduce the gaps in this field and to encourage a progressive industrial re-conversion to hemp based products.

Our tolerant policies would attract large numbers of tourists. The economic advantages to our society would be enormous.

Ending cannabis prohibition would also help create employment in a new area of commerce, the cannabis industry, and generate new sources of revenue for our nation.

DEVELOP AND INTEGRATE legislation to legalize cannabis
Immediately remove all criminal sanctions related to cannabis and it�s derivatives. This policy will ease the social climate and allow for open consultations without the risk of repression.

Organise a public consultation concerning the end of cannabis prohibition that will respect the democratic principles of our free market society and solicit workable models for legal marijuana. We do not believe that there should be a legal or regulatory control on which adults may personally cultivate or use marijuana.

Based on this consultation, replace Canada�s controlled substance act with a more sensible policy and, if need be, announce Canada�s formal intention to withdraw from all the UN�s conventions on psychoactive substances.

Consult the provinces in order to study the possibility of having cannabis legislated at the provincial level. This would allow consideration for each region�s cultural particularities with regards to cannabis. If necessary, hold a referendum to resolve the issue.

Free all prisoners held for marijuana infractions, pardon all Canadians with criminal records and permanently remove all the data regarding these records from any files. Offer retribution for their seized cannabis and an official apology from the Canadian government.

Use all the legal means available to promote this message and develop pressure tactics to incite public and private organisations in taking an official stance.

AMEND the Canada Elections Act
Considering that the Party is governed by the elections act, we feel we are under the obligation to be critical of any abuses or inequities within our democratic system. The elections act should be reformed in order to offer solutions to the parliamentary representation deficit. This reform would serve to better interpret elections results and distribute power fairly.

DEFEND the victims of cannabis prohibition
Create a legal defence fund that could offer resources to those who are victims of cannabis prohibition and particularly those who wish to contest the accusation.

Build a network of collaborators that can act together and mobilise so we can finally be heard collectively.

PROMOTE international policy
The evils caused by prohibition transcend the geographic, economic or demographic borders of Canada and have assumed global proportions. The Party seeks to promote ending cannabis prohibition in Canada and subsequently pressure the international community into acting responsibly by adopting similar policies.

OFFER immediate access to medical cannabis
Besides reducing the health risk associated with the use of unregulated products, our policies would also help advance research on the positive effects of cannabis and the legitimate medical applications.

Besides reducing the health risk associated with the use of unregulated products, our policies would also help advance research on the positive effects of cannabis and the legitimate medical applications.

We recognise the urgent need of certain patients to have access to Marijuana. However, we believe current restrictions are directly caused by the prohibition of recreational marijuana.

We recognise patients� right to obtain cannabis now, illegally, to treat their illnesses and the right for citizens to assist them in the process.

I had to respond, emander can you quit embarassing Americans by deliberately being silly. My Canadian friends ignore him, his views do not necessarily reflect those of AWCS (Americans with common sense)
