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

In fact they found that legalising recreational cannabis at the state…

What states is cannabis legal

Almost 10 years has passed since the citizens of Colorado and Washington chose at the polling booth to authorize the sporting utilization of weed. In the time since, north of twenty states and the Region of Columbia have followed after accordingly. New Jersey, which decided in favor of sanctioning in 2020, approved its first, lawful deals of weed to grown-ups 21 and more seasoned to start on April 21 — one day after the yearly festival of cannabis culture.

Everything except a small bunch of states has OK'd its clinical use and legitimizing the substance at the government level has gotten new energy. The House as of late passed a bill to decriminalize pot, and another bill that would legitimize the plant is in progress in the Senate.

In the presidential branch, President Biden reported that he wanted to exculpate the people who got a government conviction for the ownership of maryjane. The Equity Division will start giving endorsements of exculpations "before long." The president's exoneration additionally hinders future government indictments for straightforward belonging. In any case, many medication convictions happen at the state level. Thusly, Biden has called for lead representatives to follow his model and is mentioning that both the Branches of Wellbeing and Human Administrations and Equity investigate what classification pot could be arranged under as per government regulation.

The 2022 midterm decisions likewise presented a chance for citizens in different states to sanction maryjane with voting form estimates in Maryland, Missouri, South and North Dakota, and Arkansas. While the initial two states legitimized the substance for sporting use, North Dakota and Arkansas dismissed legitimization and the vote in South Dakota remains too soon to call.

What states have sanctioned sporting cannabis?

The quantity of states that have sanctioned sporting use has risen consistently throughout recent years. New York turned into the fifteenth state to authorize weed last year, yet retail deals in the state aren't supposed to start until late 2022 at the earliest. Each state on this rundown had approved the utilization of cannabis for clinical purposes before full sanctioning.

Maryland: Authorized in 2022

What states have authorized clinical cannabis?

Pot is considered clinical treatment in a large portion of the country. Just 11 states deny the medication totally. Here are the states that permit clinical pot as it were.

Blatantly Partisan Party Review X (Victoria 2022): Legalise Cannabis Victoria

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

What I said before: “In a great disappointment to lovers of mediocre puns and forced acronyms everywhere, the HEMP Party’s name no longer asks you to Help End Marijuana Prohibition; it now asks parliament to Legalise Cannabis.” (federal 2022)

What I think this time: Well, this one is straightforward. This party wants one thing and one thing only—legal weed. 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.

I entirely endorse legalising cannabis. But—and if you’ve followed me in past elections you know what is coming—I do not endorse single-issue parties. They are simply too narrow and a voter has no idea where they stand on the vast majority of parliamentary business. A party such as this can contain elements with, shall we say, very niche views (see my federal 2022 review re: this party’s representatives in the WA state parliament). So, as with any single-issue party, approach Legalise Cannabis with caution. I tend to think single-issue parties should be ranked below any party with a full platform that you like more than you dislike, even if you are really keen on the single issue.

My recommendation: Give Legalise Cannabis Victoria a decent preference. Remember to vote below the line on the large ballot for the Legislative Council so that your preference goes where you want it to go; all ballots with 5 or more preferences marked below the line are valid votes.

Indonesian Court Rejects Call to Legalise Medicinal Marijuana

Indonesian Court Rejects Call to Legalise Medicinal Marijuana

JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesia’s Constitutional Court on Wednesday rejected a judicial review of the country’s narcotics law that would have paved the way for legalising marijuana for medicinal use, a panel of nine judges ruled. Three mothers of children with cerebral palsy backed by civil society organisations filed a judicial review of the country’s strict narcotics law in 2020, arguing for the…

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.
