Daniel Dryden here with big news!
After running as the Legalise Cannabis candidate for the seat of Maitland in the 2023 NSW Election, I set myself back into public life. Now, two years I’m back once more this time as the Legalise Cannabis Party candidate for the seat of Paterson in the 2025 Federal Election.
In the state election, I campaigned against the outdated and harmful myths surrounding cannabis—"Reefer Madness," "Dangerous Drug," "Gateway Drug," "Lazy Stoner," and "Causes Psychosis"—rhetoric that has been debunked time and time again. You can bet I’ll be doing it again at the federal level!
I’m here to fight for fair cannabis laws, harm reduction and an end to the misinformation that has shaped our health and legal systems for far too long. But this fight isn’t just mine—it’s yours too! Together, we can push for real change.
