Election 2015: Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol Party
Using alcohol causes violence and induces crime, unlike cannabis, said the leader of Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol Party (CISTA).

He spoke to Andrew Neil on the Daily Politics, along with former Tory leader Lord Howard, about the election policies of the party, which he created and funded with £100,000.
