The Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party says legalising cannabis would help health by following harm reduction principles, allowing people to grow medicinal cannabis at home, and improving drug education. They say money currently spent on cannabis law enforcement could be redirected to health and education. They also want safer ways of using cannabis, like vaporisers, to be promoted, and hemp seed added to food options for its nutritional value.
“Follow harm reduction principles and evidence on best practice. specifies "adults only" regulation (R18).”
“Our policy provides for home grown medicinal marijuana, as well as prescribed therapeutic cannabis preparations. Legalising will promote safe-use modes such as vaporization and mouth sprays.”
“Removal of double standards will greatly assist health promotion in general. Double standards currently impair the credibility of public health promotion.”
