アメリカの終ることがない禁止

金曜日、2008年8月8日

ワシントン州(Reuters) -アメリカアルコール禁止は13年を持続させたり、何百万間の法律のための国の刑務所、促された軽蔑、繁殖させた堕落および作り出されたAl Caponeを満たした。 それがしなかった何を飲むことからのアメリカ人を保つことだった。

 

アメリカのマリファナの禁止はこの月第72年に引いた。 それは米国助けられるユーザーに食料調達する巨大な地下の企業を作成した。 最も大きい世界への刑務所の人口気球およびアメリカの法の執行の資源転換される。 それがしなかった何をマリファナの使用からのたくわえのアメリカ人である。

 

その一方で。 1937年以来、年のマリファナは、マリファナの方針のプロジェクトに従って、4,000%アルコールと同じような薬剤の調整を支持するワシントンを基盤としたロビーのグループ、米国の使用上がった不法とされた。 17ヶ国のマリファナの使用の最近の世界保健機構の調査はリストの上にアメリカ人を置いた。

 

アルコールの販売、生産および交通機関の1920-1933年の禁止は社会工学の陰気な失敗として今見られる。 マリファナの禁止は同じようなライトで見られるか。

 

はじめて生成で、責任がある大人によるマリファナの個人的な使用のための中央政府罰を「」。除去する議会前に手形がある しかし手形をもたらした国会議員、民主党員の口論フランクは速い道については、明るい見通しを見る。

 

最後米国。 マリファナを解禁しよう立法を取扱われた議会は1978年に上院議員がエドワードケネディもたらした法案が上院を可決されなかったが、家の投票に決して得られなかったときに、あった。

 

アルコールの後の法律化のマリファナ、最も広く利用された薬剤およびタバコ、複数の板の残り-最も明らかな禁止が非常に労働集約的で、高価な政府の努力にもかかわらず単に働かなかったことがあることのための箱。 去年がFBIから計算する2006年に、利用でき、830,000人のアメリカ人はマリファナ充満、売買するよりもむしろ所有物のための殆んどで阻止され。 

マリファナの阻止で解決すること38秒毎に。 調査は$10.7十億で去年これらの阻止の費用を推定した。

 

「これは激しく、深刻な罪に焦点を合わせるべきである法の執行資源の巨大な無駄」言うアレンSt.をである Pierre, who heads the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), the marijuana smokers’ lobby in Washington.

 

NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN USE AND ABUSE

 

“With alcohol we acknowledge the distinction between use and abuse, and we focus our law enforcement on efforts to stop irresponsible use. We do not arrest or jail responsible drinkers. That should be our policy for marijuana as well.”

 

The Bush administration’s drug czar, John Walters, will have none of this. He talks about marijuana in terms reminiscent of the apocalyptic warnings issued by Harry Anslinger, the first head of the Bureau of Narcotics in the 1930s and a driving force behind the 1937 marijuana prohibition.

 

Anslinger deemed marijuana “an addictive drug which induces in its users insanity, criminality and death.” Walters often takes issue with “the perception that marijuana is about fun and freedom. It isn’t. It’s about dependency, disease and dysfunction.”

 

(For a vivid portrayal of the dysfunction Walters warns about, see a mock documentary produced for the White House Office of National Drug Policy. It is entitled Stoners in the Mist, a play on the 1988 film on mountain gorillas in the Congo. here)

 

Americans who have admitted smoking marijuana at one point or another but escaped dependency, disease and dysfunction include President George W. Bush, Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senator John Kerry, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former Vice President Al Gore and Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee for next November’s presidential election.

 

Former President Bill Clinton falls into a special category. When he studied in England, away from the long reach of U.S. law, he experimented with marijuana “a time or two,” he once told a television interviewer. “I didn’t inhale and I didn’t try again.”

Hollywood, conscious of a mass audience that does inhale, has produced a slew of new “stoner” movies this year. The pot-smoking protagonists include an investment banker and a medical student (Harold & Kumar), a psychiatrist (The Wackness), and a process server (Pineapple Express).

 

But sympathetic portrayals of marijuana use in popular culture do not necessarily translate into faster progress towards legalization. Government anti-drug fighters are serious in their opposition.

 

When Barney Frank, at a news conference to explain the rationale for his bill, was asked what timeline he had in mind, he quipped: “Not soon … but eventually, you’ll see the development of a marijuana futures market.” David Murray, the chief scientist in the drug czar’s office who had listened to the briefing, was not amused. “It’s not funny,” he said, “not funny at all.”

 

But not impossible either, in the long run
