Police are being assaulted but is it their own fault? For the last 35 + years the police have cultivated a culture of violence, intimidation, theft, lying in court while under oath and general dishonesty, while stamping on the rights, of all citizens, in a bid for power. They have known all along the damage being caused to society by unjust laws such as cannabis prohibition, but have pursued the policy for money, power and prestige. They have for years trained their officers to actually lie in the court and commit serious crimes with arrogant impunity. (as seen on Undercover Police Program TV3). They should be answerable.

New Zealand's top spy, SIS Director Warren Tucker, has refused to release any information held by the agency about the ALCP and the wider cannabis movement. Tucker said he could "neither confirm nor deny the existence or non-existence of that information," after an OIA request. This OIA request comes after Green MP Keith Locke succesfully found out that the SIS had been spying on him since he was 11 years old. ALCP decry this culture of spying on legitimate political organisations. The matter has been refered to the privacy commissioner.

The Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party (ALCP) congratulate California and President Obama for their sensible and honest approach to drug policy. Finally medicinal cannabis users can breathe a sigh of relief as they will no longer be persecuted and punished for their choice of medication both in Cailifornia and many other States.
The Council for Civil Liberties in Queensland has also called for "...an end to drug prohibition and the decriminalisation of drugs," council president Michael Cope acknowledged. "Prohibition had failed and fresh debate is needed." (Press 21/10/09)

After more than thirty years since enactment, the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 will face a major challenge when the well known cannabis daktivist, Dakta Green, puts cannabis on trial. “For the first time since the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 came into force, cannabis will be subjected to the scrutiny of the court. My stay of proceedings application will be based on my interpretation of section 9 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990," says Green. 9. Right not to be subject to torture or cruel treatment. Everyone has the right not to be subjected to torture or to cruel, degrading or disproportionately severe treatment or punishment. This is a major opportunity to challenge the existing cannabis laws.

Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party congratulates Dakta Green and his Auckland Daktory Club membership for heavily pushing cannabis law reform to the fore again in New Zealand after many years of being put on the back burner by establishment, bureaucracy and media.
ALCP totally supports appropriate civil disobedience to raise awareness of glaring anomalies in New Zealand’s justice system, including counter-productive ‘crime prevention’ policing, and highly questionable legal status of marijuana alongside alcohol and tobacco.

Issuing warnings for cannabis possession "effectively decriminalises" the drug, a campaigner says. Under an Auckland police trial, warnings can be given for offences that carry less than a six-month prison term. Eligible offences include shoplifting, disorderly behaviour and low-level cannabis possession. The three month trial in the North Shore police area has been extended to the greater Auckland region for a further six months.

ALCP Submission to Law Commission Alcohol Review - 30 October 2009 The ALCP appreciates the opportunity to contribute to this review, and wishes the Commission well in fixing what is broken in our society. ALCP takes an evidence-based approach, recognising that alcohol and other drugs are inseparable in the big picture of drug use and misuse in NZ. The party has advocated along these lines for many years. See: Submission on lowering drinking age (1999).

ALCP: Hemp solution to Climate Change. |

The Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party (ALCP) is the only New Zealand political party with a policy that can reverse man made climate change. Neither emission reductions targets or carbon trading schemes will solve the problem. Nor will the establishment of more International Laws. The only answer to the problem is to plant hundreds of thousands of hectares of Cannabis Hemp, at a density of around 300 plants/ square metre, as the ALCP advocate. This could provide for all of New Zealand's energy and fuel needs.

Allowing Police to take DNA Samples from people they 'intend to charge' is a case of Guilty until proven Innocent, according to the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party (ALCP).
"This law is a major breach of Human Rights not to mention a completely Fascist and unjustified intrusion into citizens' lives," says party spokesperson Julian Crawford.

Drug Testing Children is Fiddling while Rome Burns |

Expensive hair drug tests being marketed to New Zealand parents are intrusive and their usefulness is highly questionable. The ALCP believe drug testing will only sow more mistrust and alienation between parents and children. The tests can not be used for evidential purposes because they do not meet US Federal, Australian or NZ standards.
The real problem is that cannabis prohibition has become a chronically dishonest and failed regime, putting youth at serious risk in NZ.
