ccguide Saturday 07 Apr 2001 Pubdate: Fri, 06 Apr 2001 Source: Essex Chronicle (UK) Copyright: 2001 Quicksilver Media Contact: Website: http://www.thisisessex.co.uk Details: http://www.mapinc.org/media/1317 Cited: Legalise Cannabis Alliance http://www.lca-uk.org BUSTER TO STAND ON CANNABIS TICKET THE Legalise Cannabis Alliance has announced it has selected Michael (Buster) Nolan as its prospective parliamentary candidate to fight the Braintree seat in the next General Election, which now looks likely to take place on June 7. Mr Nolan, who fought Braintree as a New Millennium New Way candidate in 1997, said: "I want to dispel the myths surrounding the cannabis plant. It is not only about the right to smoke cannabis. Campaigning "I have been campaigning for many years about the ever worsening state of our trees and how the hemp plant will save them - and us. Let's not forget trees provide us with the air we breathe. "Timber merchants, paper manufacturers and petro-chemical industries are destroying our forests and the environment. "I believe the planting of cannabis hemp with tree planting programmes in the UK will restore vitality and jobs in the local communities." The county council election has been postponed until June 7. The Home Office says nominations will remain valid for the new date and fresh nominations can be made until noon on May 10. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
