1. Aims and Principles

DU100 Aim: To end the prohibition of drugs and create a system of legal regulation to minimise the harms associated with drug use, production and supply as part of an inclusive, supportive, socially just society.

DR101 Principles. The Green Party:

1. Is evidence based in all aspects of drug policy, taking into account the views of people who use alcohol and other drugs;
2. Takes a public health approach to drug dependence to tackle the wider causes of problematic drug use, such as adverse life events and poverty;
3. Recognises that adults should be free to make informed decisions about their own drug consumption and that such freedom must be balanced against the government’s responsibility to protect individuals and society from harm;
4. Promotes international and environmental responsibility in relationships with producers and supply chain workers;
5. Opposes profiteering from the supply of drugs;
6. Is honest in communication to the public about drugs.

We are currently keen to campaign alongside the medical cannabis community. There are many issues that patients are facing from low and poorly kept stock, to patients having to pay £2000 per month for prescriptions for children with drug resistant epilepsy, patients being arrested because the police have not been informed that medical cannabis has been legal since November 2018, even after showing prescription documentation.
