After a hearing where they argued about the regulation of cannabis in the Member States, the European Union decided not to block the initiatives presented by the EU member states for when it comes to starting a legal regulation of cannabis and other drugs that are now illegal. The news was reported by Dana Spinant which is the new coordinator of the Drug Unit of the European Commission.
The hearing considered the financial implications of the decriminalization of drugs and how it impacts the regulation of cannabis in public spending.
In 2009 the EU published a report which dealt with illicit drug markets in the years 1998 to 2007 taking the conclusion that current policies are failing in reducing demand and supply of illicit drugs and can reach cause damage to individual consumers in their environment and society.
The fact that drugs are banned in Europe greatly promotes organized crime in the words of a Dutch MEP. In the case of the Netherlands are being applied more pressure in cofeeshops among which is the exclusion of foreign tourists entering passes membership, which undoubtedly increase the illegal market.
legal regulation of cannabis is becoming more settled in different parts of the world and producing results. The measures implemented in the Netherlands and Portugal have not entail greater consumption but nevertheless they provide better safety conditions for the drug. In the Basque country of cannabis social clubs are a way of collectively cultivated marijuana plant for use person being recognized as a successful model.
The European Commission carried out an assessment of costs to drug prohibition as well as what benefits they may have. A left turn clear that the commission has no power to take initiatives to open the debate on drug reform, the responsibility borne by member states of the EU.
