MARIJUANA PARTY PLANS TO RUN IN NEXT FEDERAL ELECTION
Vancouver - Canadian politics is going to pot-literally.
The Marijuana party announced its intentions Thursday to run 15 candidates
in British Columbia and at least 50 across the country in the next federal
election.
The party has only one goal should it be elected: legalize marijuana.
The Marijuana party's Marc St.Maurice said if all pot smokers voted for the
party, it would have a good chance at winning seats.
"Look out Ottawa, here we come," he said during a news conference.
