The Marijuana Party (French: Parti Marijuana) was a formerly registered Canadian federal political party, whose agenda focused on issues related to cannabis in Canada. Apart from this one issue, the party had no other official policies, meaning party candidates were free to express any views on all other political issues. Passage of the Cannabis Act in June 2018 legalized cannabis on 17 October 2018. However, the party remained critical of some of the laws relating to cannabis since legalization and wanted to see them changed or reformed. It also sought to represent and advocate for the rights of cannabis consumers, growers, and small cannabis based businesses.
Candidates appeared on election ballots under the short form "Radical Marijuana" and their status was similar to that of independent candidates. Although governed by the Canada Elections Act, the Marijuana Party was a "decentralized" party, without by-laws, charter or constitution that govern its operations. Its Electoral District Associations were autonomous units of the party as a whole.
In October 2025, the party lost its registration with Elections Canada.
