ALCP on Economy

This party says legalising cannabis would move money out of the black market and into the legal economy. It says this would create jobs, bring in tax money, and free up police spending. It also wants to develop a hemp farming industry, which it says could provide work in poorer parts of New Zealand and produce things like food, fuel, and building materials.

• Redirect hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars from prohibition enforcement to community, health, education, and employment
• Create taxation revenue and carbon credits through legal cannabis commerce
• Develop a cannabis-hemp industry to provide employment and economic growth, especially in economically depressed areas
• Enable full-scale cannabis-hemp production for biofuels, fibre, food, and other products
• Provide affordable micro licences for existing small-scale Kiwi growers as part of a cottage industry
