Marijuana Party - Definition and Overview

Marijuana Parties are formal political parties set up specifically to legalize cannabis. They exist in Canada (federally, and provincially in British Columbia, Québec, and Ontario) 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. Israeli Ale Yarok party participated in 2003 elections in Israel and was very close to pass to the parliament. However, they were unsuccessful in legalising marijuana.
