Candidate Calls For Votes
The Advertiser, Norwich
Thursday 14 Apr 2005 THE LEGALISE Cannabis Alliance candidate for Norwich South is calling on people to pledge their vote at the May 5 election. Don Barnard, 63, says that a vote for a single issue party is not a wasted vote and can have big knock-on effects. "I believe that a strong vote for the Legalise Cannabis Alliance would send a clear signal to the next MP for Norwich South that we are fed up with our elected officials and Minsiters censoring discussion and debate on issues of importance to us and our children." Focussing on what he says are the health benefits of cannabis, Mr Barnard hopes that people will recognise the positive effects of legalising the drug. "The legalisation of cannabis hemp would increase access to a natural medicine and allow for better protection of the vulnerable without interfering with the personal and private choice." The alliance believe that cannabis is a victimless crime. "I challenge the justice in punishing people who wish to use a plant to their benefit and do no harm to others," added Mr Barnard.
