legalize it


Frankly, too many people confuse morality or legality of something. Drugs for recreational purposes, whether benign or she is a bad habit and is addictive. This does not necessarily mean that we should prohibit the the contrary. The prohibition of alcohol in the United States in the last century has demonstrated the limits of the penal framework to improve social behavior. There are simply things that human beings always have and always will. I firmly believe, like Nietzsche, that the most dangerous individuals are those who sincerely believe we need to improve human nature to make us good ... In reality we can not work on our living conditions and foster the emergence of a kind with a trial safer but rather acquired through individual experience, not taught by an ideology, an act of faith. .. or a law.

For, hear us, if we want to destroy something that is sometimes a mistake to cling negatively (ex-smoker I understand). It would be wiser to regulate behavior, to make Benin, even ridiculous, in fact Discart as an evil that it would be necessary to tolerate in its environment. Then people would abandon themselves, because they would then be forced to doubt themselves, their motivations, nobody forced them.

I think a lot of information. It is with great knowledge and experience we acquire reasonably-or-not a little wisdom. The illegality of drugs makes it difficult to know, understand, manage, contain. In declaring the criminal is also criminalizes the same momentum, forcing a trade in illegal and unfair profit, enriching social networks far more harmful to the common good than the occasional small O blissful in this world.

By prohibiting, we refuse to trust the ruling families in the values they are trying to instill in their children, and their ability to enforce the discipline of a healthy life and pro-active. They refuse to acknowledge the existence of behavior as something that is part of human life and learning. Because we hear again, only talking about nothing unusual nor fatal or very dangerous in the immediate ... We are talking about a behavior that in some individuals in a measurable percentage, becomes an abuse, so-called addiction, and to be treated, not condemned. And the percentage of success depends mostly on the recognition of the problem (which of course will be easier if we can speak openly). And if children are not forced to hide to find, will not it easier to deny them something that an adult should try warned?

There has always been and will always be drugs, prostitution, deviance in society, and oh how many more monsters yet. It is more efficient and smarter to treat them as diseases than to attempt ablation as if it were a supernatural invasion against the will of God.

The ignorant want to burn witches. It is perhaps time that we understand that magic does not exist, that normality, morality, it is discussed, it evolves, and people not normal, it's always better to present a psychiatrist than sending them to prison.

How can anyone be against the legalization of marijuana?


How can anyone be against the legalization of marijuana? Legalizing marijuana is first knock organized crime in Canada and Quebec. If organized crime becomes less profitable, it will certainly be less attractive. We know that perhaps opt for a "real" job instead. Legalize marijuana, but also prevent consumers from rubbing shoulders with pushers. Not just a matter of social security, but often skirting the "pushers" that young people are fishing up in the middle. Again, we speak from experience. Third, legalizing marijuana, it's obviously creating a source of considerable revenue to the state. I'm for production and marketing state to control the quality of the plant used and maximize the revenue stream to the state. Finally, I would remind doctors - who are generally opposed - whether legal or not, the number of marijuana users will remain substantially the same. The example of Holland confirms this theory. All in all, a symbolic point of view, the legalization of marijuana is synonymous with freedom, collective maturity, openness and modernity. It would be a great political coup for Canada, right?

legalize it


What hypocrisy from our political leaders and our societies consuming! The only winners in the war against drugs are police officers. They only defend their interests. Taxpayers in all Western countries pay billions for a war against drugs unwinnable, as was the prohibition of alcohol in the early 20th century. The police are making the most of the billions that states invest in this futile war. These are the only winners. They often oppose the distribution of syringes, sale of marijuana compassion and any relaxation of laws. Moreover, by their demagogic speeches, they wash the brains of the good people timid and spread disinformation that is made only to falsely secure the masses more and more frightened by the thousands of killings perpetrated by the traffickers. Legalization and the nationalization of illegal drugs today are the only solutions to end the bloodshed between cartels and desperation of the producers who do not benefit from this traffic.

Why legalize Marijuana ?


Because a few thousand in the early 70s, cannabinophiles are millions and refuse to treat patients and drug addicts.

Because smoking cannabis is filled by a majority of users and they would never pass a substance harder.

By many that (his) are those (those) who are arrested (s) each year for a single use, and for a few grams of grass or shit, are held (s) and imprisoned (e) s.

Because under the constitution, "freedom is to do everything that does not harm others" (Article 4 of the Declaration of Human Rights). And smoking a joint can only harm yourself. It is therefore an obstacle to individual liberties.

Because express remarks contrary to the official doctrine is a crime that could result in prosecution. It is therefore an obstacle to freedom of expression.

Because cannabis prohibition enriches mafias, encouraged corruption at all levels and finance wars and terrorism in many countries.

Because it involves the movement of adulterated products harmful to health (H cut glue, henna, paraffin, etc. ...) and facilitates the escalation among young people to harder substances such as heroin This runs counter to public health.

Because in the name of the war on drugs, drugs are forbidden by imposing those south of the north such as alcohol, tobacco and drugs.

Because in legalizing marijuana and decriminalizing other drugs, it will emerge from marginalization numbers of young people and stop this policy of exclusion created by the prohibition.

Because thousands of young people arrive and the lawbreakers in the adult world so, take the habit of breaking all other laws and would have done well for democracy.

Because prohibition is mobilizing thousands of police and customs, and it has not diminished one iota the number of consumers (trice), and also spend huge amounts of money when that money could be used for prevention more important on hard drugs.

Because drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco, even if it's not fantastic, it's part of the cultural habits of a society, so why not with cannabis?

Since, because of repression, users are obliged (s) to be provided on the black market where other drugs circulate much more difficult to manage. It is time to get out of hiding marijuana in his many (his) followers are no longer in contact with the seller (his) other drugs and promote recreational use and reasonable, this part of a policy risk reduction.

The medical properties

Cannabis or hemp plant has many healing properties, but the lack of pharmacological studies did not reveal serious all the mechanisms of its virtues. Thus, cannabis would:

- To relieve migraines
- Stopping the progression of glaucoma
- Control of spasticity and paralysis in cases of multiple sclerosis
- Relief from nausea and pain associated with cancer chemotherapy and other severe nausea
- Preventing seizures
- Assistance to emphysema patients breathe easier by increasing their transfer intrapulmonary
- Assistance to the treatment of people affected by air pollution
- The relief of pain caused by arthritis and rheumatism and other chronic diseases
- The rescue people anorexic and depressed people
- The treatment of back spasms, marijuana is the best muscle relaxant, excluding morphine
- The relief of asthma attacks and improve breathing
- Support for people with AIDS in relieving their distress and depression, reducing pain, eliminating nausea and stimulating appetite
- Assistance in case of dermatitis, such as pruritus
- Assistance in case of depression and other mood disorders, and associates sometimes psychotherapy
- Help with insomnia and deepening of sleep
- Support for paraplegics
- Relief from symptoms of craving for alcohol and narcotics

Not to mention the antimicrobial and antibacterial cannabis, or its ability to heal fistulas, corns and fibromatosis when used as a poultice.
However, as with smoking, chronic inhalation of cannabis smoke can induce lung changes. For this, it is preferable to eat in infusion as appropriate.

Health risks

Regarding dependence, THC does not cause physical dependence, whatever its rate of consumption. Cannabis use is not fatal. No deaths due to excessive consumption of the drug used alone was reported. As such, we can consider that it is less dangerous than alcohol and tobacco, although the possibility of lung cancer can not be discounted, long-term, heavy smokers.
Anyway, knowing that there are several million smokers and there are more than 30 years that the phenomenon appeared, we should already have serious cases to see if a tenth of what we heard on cannabis was true. Where are they? How much and how?
The prohibition does not preclude the use of cannabis, but its quality deteriorates, is escalating health hazards, exposing young users to environments in which all drugs mix, but the real danger of cannabis is almost constant exposure to the abuse of power, intolerance and violations of individual liberties that demonstrate the authorities vis-à-vis drug users. But that is for our good ...

The escalation to harder drugs

Contrary to what is suggested, cannabis is not necessarily the first step of a transition to hard drugs. This so-called theory of "escalation" which means that anyone using cannabis, after a moment or longer, more intense satisfaction research. In practice, the risk of using drugs such as heroin, cocaine or crack after smoking hashish is not greater than 5 or 10%. While an estimated 150 000 to 200 000 drug users in France called hard and from 3 to 5,000,000 the number of occasional users of soft drugs, we realize that the transition from one to another is far from inevitable. In fact, the drift has often started with tobacco, alcohol or consumption of psychotropic drugs.

Cannabis offenses

Cannabis offenses are tried by the criminal court, but the crimes are tried cannabis by a Court of departure from the ordinary sitting without a jury popular, and entirely composed of 7 judges. It's in French law or soft drugs or hard drugs, nor tolerance.
The law applies to a joint, a pinch of grass or a single cannabis plant.
The law of 31 December 1970 and the Penal Code provides for, among other crimes, a sentence of 20 years imprisonment and a little more than 7.5 million euro fine anyone who produces or grows cannabis for offenses such as possession, supply, sale or donation, purchase or transport (10 years in prison and a fine of twice the value of seized cannabis) or for the sale or offering for retail (5 years in prison and more than 75 000 euros fine).
The length of the sentence may be reduced by the court or the Court of Assize, the circumstances of the offense and the personality of the accused (e) and set the fine based on its resources and its loads.

However, France signed the Treaty of Rome. That's what it evokes and the European directives regarding the cultivation of hemp. These texts, taken by French law, not only define the maximum permissible THC in hemp (0.3%) but explain how the analysis, and there above, the text is unambiguous: it takes no less than 1000 ( thousand) plants to determine the THC content of a variety!
Thus, it is impossible to prove legally below 1000 feet, the variety of psychoactive hemp is offending!

So there is inconsistency between the 1970 Act and the Treaty of Rome.

The cannabistrots

It is time to decriminalize cannabis use and settlement distribution. In this scheme, the consumer would be free and self-production, agricultural production and commercial distribution governed by a system of controlled appellation and licenses.
Distribution would be made in specific establishments (cannabistrots *) like drinking a particular license. This "license H define the obligations of sellers: no sales to minors, no advertising, no sale of hard liquor or hard drugs, legal sourcing, product warranty, labeling, taxes, etc. .. .
In fact, this legislation does not pose any particular problem, it is simply inspired by the regulations for legal drugs (alcohol, tobacco), and requires a political decision.
So ladies and gentlemen policies, what do you expect?

* The cannabistrot is the word used by militants IARC (Collective for Research and Information cannabis) and is the equivalent of coffeeshops.

The cannabistrot cannabis is that the wine bar is on the vine.
