A political party in Australia called HEMP – an acronym for Help End Marijuana Prohibition – has officially launched its 2013 election campaign by fielding 12 Senate candidates across 6 states, and calling for the national legalization of cannabis.
“America has given us huge encouragement,” says Michael Balderstone, President of HEMP, “Half of America now has access to medical cannabis and now they’ve started to get new regulations for recreational cannabis. So, you now, the wall is down there and no big deal, the place hasn’t gone crazy.”
In Australia the production of industrial hemp is legal, but cannabis – whether for medicinal or recreational purposes – is not. HEMP is calling for legalization for all adults, something which they believe will end the criminality associated with the black-market.
