Marijuana Party of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (657 words)
He started by creating the Bloc pot, a Quebec political party and eventually, as the current law prohibiting the possession of cannabis is a federal law, founded the federal Marijuana Party.
In addition to the Bloc Pot party in Quebec, Marijuana Parties have several separate provincial counterparts, most notably, the British Columbia Marijuana Party which received over 3% of the vote in the 2001 provincial election, and the Marijuana Party of Nova Scotia.
The Bloc Pot and the Federal Marijuana Party work together, however, the B.C. Marijuana Party and the Federal Marijuana Party do not work together.
