Blatantly Partisan Party Review XIII (NSW 2023): Legalise Cannabis Party

Prior reviews (most as the Help End Marijuana Prohibition Party): federal 2013, federal 2016, federal 2019, federal 2022, VIC 2022

What I said before: “They want cannabis to be regulated no differently to alcohol and tobacco. In the last couple of years, they have clearly matured in their approach and become more organised. But, being the party that they are, they promote legalising cannabis for a whole host of reasons, some of which are quite sensible such as medicinal use, industry regulation, public revenue, and reducing expenditure on law enforcement, while some of the larger claims about economic and environmental transformation are, um, optimistic.”

What I think this year: What I said above. Blaze it, but don’t blaze it too much.

This is a single-issue party and their policy platform does not come close to providing a framework for addressing the bulk of parliamentary business. They’ve won representation in WA and Victoria, and in WA one of their two MLCs was suspended from parliament after spouting anti-vax nonsense. It’s a good lesson on why you should be cautious with single-issue parties, but my main concern remains with ideology rather than personality: no single-issue party can possibly present a platform that gives voters an adequate idea of how a prospective parliamentarian will vote on most legislation. Get an ideology or go home.

Recommendation: Give the Legalise Cannabis Party a decent preference.

THAILAND: A NEW CANNABIS PARADISE?

In addition to its idyllic beaches, millenary culture, and delicious cuisine, Thailand has chosen to add some ‘sex appeal’ to its tourist charm: the legalisation of cannabis. However, everything that glitters isn’t always green, and many restrictions still remain in place.

In this article we discuss everything you need to know before travelling to the country of smiles with your backpack full of cannabis dreams.

Cannabis has great medicinal potential, but it’s no cure-all - Medical Marijuana Program Connection

Over the last five years, an often forgotten piece of US federal legislation �� the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, also known as the 2018 Farm Bill – has ushered in an explosion of interest in the medical potential of cannabis-derived cannabidiol, or CBD. After decades of debate, the bill made it legal for farmers to grow industrial hemp, a plant rich incannabis-derived cannabidiol. Hemp…

Cannabis Education - Study Shows Since Legalisation Recreational Cannabis Doesn't Increase Substance Abuse

Recently at CU Boulder Colarado in the USA, research was undertaken into the harms and effects cannabis has had since it was legalised for recreational use. The cohort were twins and were studied over a period of time from when they were adolescents. The results revealed that cannabis doesn’t cause any rise in substance abuse. In fact they found that legalising recreational cannabis at the state…

They need to legalise marijuana but we're gonna brace for shitloads more people coming into addiction services cos people will use it to self medicate mental health issues, trauma, anxiety etc

It's gonna boom cos mental health services aren't functioning well enough to support people, and cos people are being traumatised by just living eg poverty, struggle

agree with the previous anon about Chinese immigrants' support for conservative politics not being unusual. i also want to note that besides fiscal reasons, many Chinese people are also very socially conservative, esp 1st gen. Slightly better for 2nd gen if they grew up here, but honestly it's still not good lol - I remember a conversation with a 40 y/o 2nd generation guy who was very strongly against marijuana legalisation back in 2019, and there's plenty of younger (20s-30s) 1st gen people who are still pretty socially conservative. even thinking about bringing up lgbtq things to my parents gives me goosebumps (Source: am chinese and queer, early 20s 1st gen)

the more hours pass the more absolutely unhinged this becomes. the italian right-wing government is now trying to get the heads of italian state tv fired because of sanremo, literally for the bare minimum across the board: two men kissing with tongue, chiara ferragni supporting the right to abortion, contestants v queitly expressing support for same-sex relationships and gender-free clothing, fedez holding the picture of a minister dressed a nazi, paola agonu talking about the racism she faced, legalisation of marijuana.

Original plans to allow licensed shops and pharmacies to sell cannabis have been scrapped over EU concerns that this could lead to a surge in drug exports. Instead, non-commercial members' clubs, dubbed "cannabis social clubs", will grow and distribute a limited amount of the drug. Each club will have an upper limit of 500 members, consuming cannabis onsite will not be allowed, and membership will only be available to German residents.

Growing your own cannabis will also be permitted, with up to three marijuana plants allowed per household.

This means that Germany could be in the paradoxical position of allowing possession of rather large amounts of the drug, while at the same time making it difficult to purchase. Regular smokers would benefit, but occasional users would struggle to buy it legally and tourists would be excluded. Critics say this will simply fuel the black market.

Germany becomes the first country in the world to legally gatekeep weed with an official policy of Go Big Or Go Home, making it difficult to acquire unless you're a serious enough stoner.

Harris pledges to legalise recreational marijuana

US Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday voiced her support for legalising marijuana, speaking publicly on the issue for the first time since she became the Democratic Party’s nominee, US media reported.

Harris defended her record as a prosecutor, promised to decriminalise marijuana and push for police reform in an effort to build support among black men in an interview with radio host Charlamagne Tha God on Tuesday. Charlamagne, a black comedian and author who hosts The Breakfast Club radio programme, is known for his blunt interviews with celebrities.

Although he supports Harris, he has criticised her and President Joe Biden in the past and called Democrats “cowards” for not effectively prosecuting the case against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. He asked Harris to respond to rumours that she has disproportionately jailed black men in more than a dozen years as San Francisco district attorney.

“It’s simply not true,” Harris said, adding that she has been called “one of the most progressive prosecutors” on marijuana cases. She said she would push to decriminalise marijuana if she became president because she knows how the laws hurt some groups, especially black men.

Some polls show Harris has less black male support than Biden in the 2020 election.

Her campaign and allies, including former US President Barack Obama, are working to win them back in Michigan and other states that will be decided by small margins.

Harris said one of the biggest challenges she faces is misinformation from the Trump team aimed at black voters. She also added:

“They are trying to scare people away because they know they otherwise have nothing to run on.”

Recreational use of marijuana is currently legal in 24 states and the District of Columbia, where the capital, Washington, D.C., is located. In addition, 38 of the 50 states allow medical use of marijuana, although it remains illegal in some states and at the federal level.

Support from African-Americans

During the interview, Harris also talked about reparations for the African-American community as a way to repair the historical damage of slavery, and when Charlamagne asked if he supported such a measure – a historic demand of the black community – Harris said the issue should be studied.

With 20 days before the election, Harris is trying to reach out to the black community at a time when polls show some African-Americans are leaning toward Trump or choosing not to vote. Harris and other party leaders are trying to address the phenomenon and win back voters who have traditionally voted for Democrats.

Last week, former President Barack Obama spoke to a group of African-American men at Harris’ campaign office in Pittsburgh. Obama noted that some “brothers” seemed to have a hard time voting for a woman and that Harris’ support was lower than when he ran, so he urged them to support the vice president and get to the polls.

On Monday, Harris unveiled a plan with specific measures for African-American men, including providing one million loans to African-American entrepreneurs, protecting cryptocurrency assets and increasing investment in training and accreditation programmes in black communities. The plan also calls for increased investment in researching diseases that disproportionately affect African American men, such as prostate cancer or diabetes.

"I did inhale". Well, now that we know you are so cool we'll vote for you and forget the 1,560 innocent men and women you sent to jail for marijuana possession and the fact that you actively campaigned against legalisation your whole f*cking life
