Arguably, cannabis prohibition has failed to produce results for too long. More and more people are using cannabis every day. The conversation has gone on and on, and this election year, we want to finish the conversation about our cannabis laws and try to get better results for our communities.
What People Are Saying
"Cannabis use should be teated as a health issue, not a criminal issue. ...but it's not just a heath issue, it's a human rights issue"
Metiria Turei
"Prohibition is not good public policy. It has not been able to reduce the demand for or the supply of marijuana."
Rt. Hon Helen Clark
"Does Labour believe in cannabis reform more than for just medical purposes? Yes!"
Jacinda Ardern
"Any society which tolerates alcoholic consumption at the level at which we do and the prosecutes and punishes against cannabis has an extraordinary amount of self deception about it."
Rt. Hon David Lange
