"I, like so many people, have been content to sit on the sidelines.

"I am fed up with the stupid laws on cannabis that denies people the right to choose a medicine of their own choice. "I am still trying to raise more money for the deposit 500 plus about 1000 [I have about 500 pledged so far] to publish some flyers (candidates get a free mail delivery to all houses in the constituency).

The LCA does not run a membership, preferring to attract support through endorsement of Principles, Aims and Proposals from across the political spectrum. This avoids conflict between supporters and their parties. There are almost 1000 endorsees to date. Endorsements can be made on line at http://www.lca-uk.org The LCA is far from being a "single issue" party. LCA policies include cannabis related issue such as Human Rights, Law and Order, Drugs and Crime, Health, The Environment, Fuel, Pollution, Education, Agriculture, Trade and Employment. Candidates may also hold and express views on other matters during their campaign, although clearly every vote cast will be in support of the legalisation of cannabis.
