 A poster in Valencia, Spain, urges a vote for the Cannabis Party in Spain's March 2004 general election Marijuana Parties are formal political parties set up specifically to legalize cannabis[1]. They exist in Canada (as the Marijuana Party of Canada on the federal level, and as the Bloc pot of Quebec and the British Columbia Marijuana Party on the provincial level), the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Spain (provinces of Valencia, Alicante and Valladolid) and Israel at present. They have a generally libertarian character, with few other common positions. Some consider a Marijuana Party to be a sort of single-issue green party.

In 1998 and 2002, the Marijuana Reform Party of New York State ran candidates for governor and other statewide offices. In 2004, a federal judge held that, by running candidates in 1998 and 2002 statewide elections, the Marijuana Reform Party demonstrated a "modicum of support" sufficient to entitle it to an injunction compelling the state board of elections to recognize the party and allow voters to enroll in it. Viable in New York State because of its unique fusion political system, it remains the only political party in the United States recognized on a statewide level and dedicated to the advocacy of marijuana law reform.

Footnote - 1. ^ The use of marijuana as an English name for cannabis can be traced to the US Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 and to US newspaper usage of the 1920s and 30s. Most readers of the time would not have recognised marijuana as a name for something they themselves might be using as a prescribed medicine. The Marijuana Tax Act had the effect of prohibitting virtually all uses of cannabis, including both medicical or therapeutic use and non-drug industrial uses. Cultivation and use of cannabis (known also as hemp) was already controlled. In 1937 however, prohibition of medical use seems to have been quite unexpected by the American Medical Association and to have been against their advice. In the UK this particular prohibition was not introduced until 1971 when the Misuse of Drugs Act was passed. The marijuana name is Latin American in origin and the US legislation of 1937 represented obviously racist opinion about drug use.
