CN BC: Marijuana Party Ripe For Election
ccguide Friday 30 Mar 2001 Pubdate: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 Source: Grand Forks Gazette (CN BC) Copyright: 2001 Sterling Newspapers Contact: Website: http://www.sterlingnews.com/Forks Details: http://www.mapinc.org/media/525 Author: Michael Chouinard MARIJUANA PARTY RIPE FOR ELECTION The provincial Marijuana party is confident it will be able to field a full crop of candidates for the coming provincial election, according to leader Brian Taylor of Grand Forks. The 55 candidates who've signed up so far spent the weekend shoring up on strategy for the campaign, and Taylor says the group represents an interesting cross-section. The team includes everyone from a right-wing fundamentalist to a non-smoking computer guy to a hunter from Prince George to various civil libertarians. "We can't be afraid to ask anybody," says Taylor. Several more candidates were lined up over the weekend and Taylor thinks they should be able to put out a full slate of 79. "There's very few areas of the province not covered," he adds. As far as the campaigning itself goes, Taylor says the members talked about things such as avoiding chances to lighting up for the news cameras. As leader, he is also planning to tour the province with a new personal grow unit he and others are developing. The device is about the size of a closet and would allow anyone to produce their own crops. It can be used to grow many things such as herbs or tomatoes. Right now, Taylor and his colleagues are waiting for a ruling about the item's legality. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
