GLOBAL MARIJUANA MOVEMENT
GLOBAL MARIJUANA MOVEMENT
Stymied by a Liberal government that dismisses change to Canada’s marijuana laws-saying they would be going against UN treaties and “international obligations”-the national marijuana movement is slowly sowing its own seeds to overgrow the rest of the world.
And Alison Myrden is at the razor-sharp end of the hoe. Myrden-the NDP’s Oakville candidate, a prominent marijuana cheerleader and sufferer of MS and Tic Douloureux-is building an international Rolodex with goals of launching a worldwide marijuana organization and movement within a year.
“I think the global marijuana movement is potentially very strong. Only potentially because until now, most lobby their own country or state. All organizations should federate into one single one for better and more effective communication. Each and everyone should know what is happening 10,000 kilometers away in the world of cannabis. If we unite and turn into one entity, the global marijuana movement can become really strong.
“This is why one of our tasks is to locate and ‘recruit’ isolated pro-cannabis peoples who need some international structure. There is some need to create some kind of “Cannabis International Agency.”
