TOULON: Drug customers, much less managed than canine homeowners! – Press Group

From April 15, you danger a effective of €750 in case your canine isn’t saved on a leash within the forest!

In the meantime, the prison penalty for easy hashish consumption is barely €320. A wierd parliament that thinks canine homeowners are extra criminals than drug customers! We stroll on their head!

So long as there are drug customers, there will likely be traffickers. Solely robust sanctions towards drug use will curb demand.

France is commonly cited because the nation with the most important client of leisure hashish in Europe. The French authorities has by no means moved in the direction of decriminalization or legalization.

On the identical time, Germany would be the fifth nation on this planet to legalize the leisure use of hashish, after Malta and Luxembourg. A alternative that emphasizes the divide within the international consensus on prohibition.
This provision got here into impact originally of April, with the institution of a non-profitable circuit, restricted doses and permission for residence cultivation.
The choice was made by the socialist, environmental and liberal coalition of the German authorities, encouraging right-wing politicians, medical doctors and specialists.
For the reason that legalization of the manufacturing, commerce and consumption of hashish in Germany will have an effect on France, opening the drug market to cross-border employees, and even to all potential customers, even when which steps will likely be taken to limit gross sales to foreigners.
Nevertheless, this German choice, defended by the left and the left, revives the query in France. The environmental mayor of Strasbourg has requested a check on the consumption and cultivation of hashish in her metropolis. The prefecture has refused to difficulty it (for now).

In its opinion of 24 January 2023, the Financial, Social and Environmental Council (CESE) issued a positive opinion on the managed decriminalization of the usage of drug hashish.
Proper-wing events consider there’s a danger of decriminalization of leisure hashish use.
As a result of the manufacturing, sale and consumption of hashish in France doesn’t cease human trafficking, as a result of there’s competitors on costs, high quality and amount. Alternatively, there’s a danger that it will encourage extra consumption, and even normal consumption, which might open the door to progress within the sale of different medicine. And, most significantly, decriminalization will begin with hashish however there’s a danger that it will lengthen to different medicine.

In 2023, the Nationwide Academy of Drugs recalled: “The toxicity of the principle psychotropic element of the drug, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has been established: bodily toxicity higher than tobacco toxicity (most cancers, coronary heart assault, coronary heart rhythm dysfunction, stroke, arteritis), induction or exacerbation of schizophrenia), results on being pregnant and kids, epigenetic modifications. It is usually a supply of household, skilled and street violence.”

However who cares concerning the well being of shoppers in France? We desire to place canine homeowners down!

As standard, the federal government is robust with the weak however weak with the robust!
