The Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party says that ending the war on cannabis is the most important step toward a safer world. They say this would free up resources to strengthen border security and civil defence. They also say organised crime and terrorism are helped by the international War on Drugs, and that legalising cannabis in New Zealand would make the world safer.
“Organised crime and terrorism are aided and abetted by the international War on Drugs.”
“Ending the NZ drug war on cannabis would be the single most important step we could take toward a safer world.”
“Cannabis offences in other jurisdictions should not be a barrier to people wishing to make a new life in NZ.”
