Det norske Cannabispartiet
|
DnC or Det norske Cannabisparti is a politican party with its office in Jørpeland, Norway. It was registered at an attorny's office in Stavanger on the 22 September 2009.<ref name=Ra20090925 /> The happening was covered by the local newspaper Rogalands Avis (RA) both on the internet edition the same morning and in the paper edition the day after. Typically, to blow up a case like legalising marihuana / cannabis, the word "hasj" (hashish) was printed in huge, bold letters on the front page. The leader of the party, Even Ganja Helland, settled a "HASJPARTI". The next day, the news editor of the same paper made a statement saying he would publish all the needed 5000 names going to sign for supporting the political party. Another Norwegian paper, one of the biggest, reacted on this, and a meeting was arranged already the same day, between Ganja Helland and the two newspaper workers.<ref nameDb20090925 /><ref nameDb20090926 /> Still, the threath was a fact, disturbing the newborn political party in its important job to gather enough signatures. But due to all this media attention, DnC was lucky after all, who got such a famous name even before having got the organisation number ready.
Their goal is of course to get 5000 people to support them as a political party and to participate in the next political election, to make people understand that the country's treatment of drug addicts is totally wrong, that cannabis should never have been listed as a forbidden drug back in 1961 due to The Single Convention, an American deal forced upon hundred countries who didn't dear to loose their economical connection to the US. DnC loudly claims the right for citizens to use a much healthier alternative to tobacco and alcohol. DnC is working for to release cannabis users from the illegal, criminal environment, to sort out a way to sell cannabis in public, to use it as a medicine, to use the whole plant for plenty of production causes, and for those who might become ill of cannabis by misuse, DnC requires the social health department to develop a proper care solution. According to DnC, cannabis users are not criminals but healthy, bright people. The police should not bother to use time, power and money on chasing this rather common society lifestyle. In addition to the ideology of legalising cannabis, DnC, the friends of nature, say they are greener than the greenest political party in Norway.
