Miljöpartiets kusin i Kanada heter Green Party och väljarstödet pendlar någonstans mellan 8-10%. Green Party tror på skadereduktion och vill bl.a. legalisera och beskatta försäljning av cannabis till myndiga.
Den beräknade skatteinkomsten från försäljningen är 925 miljoner CAD. Man vill även satsa på sprututbyten och liknande åtgärder.
På deras hemsida går det att läsa följande om cannabis:
Illegal Drug Use:
Greens believe that the current “war on drugs” is not only a colossal waste of money, it has clearly failed. So instead we favour a harm reduction policy. The first plank of this would be to legalize the use of cannabis through legislation that would restrict production to small growers, sale through a government agency like the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (to standardize quality and restrict sales to minors), and levy a significant tax against it (to fund other harm-reduction programs.)
In addition, a Green government would invest in a wide range of proved harm-reduction strategies such as safe-injection sites, expanded treatment programs and a comprehensive review of legislation governing all other substances currently restricted under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
