There is laid up for a passionate debate, when the Aarhus city Council meet for their upcoming regular meeting on Wednesday next week.
After SF, Enhedslisten and the Alternative stated by SF’eren, councillor for Children and Young people, Thomas Medom, on Monday morning submitted a proposal to legalize marijuana in the nation’s second-largest city for a trial period of three years, is the political pulse obviously increased from the previous mayoral, Gert Bjerregaard from the Left.
– I think it is completely out of the hemp and a sign of inadequacy that come with such a proposal, instead of to pull to roll up our sleeves and try to make a preventive effort on the of our educational institutions and other relevant places where we can educate young people about the harm of smoking marijuana, says Gert Bjerregaard to Ekstra Bladet.
He believes that the gangs are ‘more pious of free hash’, as he puts it.
– We hold ourselves to the national board of Health recommendations. Marijuana is dangerous, it is a slippery slope, and it is addictive, says Gert Bjerregaard, who, in addition to sit in the city council is also a member of the social committee.
Thomas Medom and the left parties argue, among other things, free hash with that of a legalization can take the money out of the hands of criminals and gangs, as the later years have done, in particular the Aarhus West creepy. At the same time, the experimental period with authorized outlets create fertile ground for better prevention, said in the proposal.
– Thomas Medom should as councillor for Children and Young people take the lead in the struggle to explain precisely the children and young people, how dangerous and addictive marijuana is. He is not up to the job with such a proposal, think Gert Bjerregaard and adds that the gangs will just throw herself over the other criminal activities with a legal, controlled cannabis market.
It does not suggest immediately that the left parties will get the majority of their controversial proposals. The social democrats will, according to the Ekstra information, like the Left, turn your thumb down, and the two parties jointly constitute a majority in the Aarhus city Council.
– It works too impetuous, and I would not break me, bend was a haven for hash-tourists. It would in no way be a good branding of the city, says Gert Bjerregaard.
