Marijuana political parties are formal political parties set up specifically to legalize cannabis. Given the nature of modern political systems their aims are often not exclusively about the use of the plant cannabis as a drug, but this is a major feature of them. They have been set up in 8 countries to date, including some regional branches. Some use the Marijuana Party name. Some use other names, including Ale Yarok (Green Leaf), Bloc pot, Grassroots Party and Legalise Cannabis Party.
