"All the repressive is a total failure": the pro cannabis legalization deputy François-Michel Lambert brandished a seal in the hemicycle of the National Assembly on Tuesday, drawing the wrath of Gerald Darmanin and Richard Ferrand.
This elected representative of Bouches-du-Rhône, ex-LREM and member of the Libertés et Territoires group, criticized during the questioning session to the government “prohibition” in France, while “other countries have chosen to face the problem rather than the ostrich policy ”.
A transpartisan parliamentary mission is due to make a report this Wednesday in which legalization is advocated.
“This proposal is not lax.
It would make it possible to guarantee consumers controlled products and to dry up traffic, ”said MP Lambert.
Financial penalty for the deputy
He then showed a cup with a cannabis leaf on it, then took out "a joint", saying he was aware that it "could create scandal".
The President of the National Assembly, Richard Ferrand (LREM), immediately made him a point of order with entry in the minutes, which is worth a financial penalty for the deputy.
The Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, denounced "a little demagoguery" in the words of François-Michel Lambert.
He told her that "it's shit that (young people) take in their veins and that they smoke".
"Do you think that traffickers who make up to 60,000, 80,000, 100,000 euros in cash per week will open a shop and declare their money to taxes and Urssaf?
He asked her.
And to add: “Get out of naivety, fight drugs and do not give up!
"President Emmanuel Macron ruled out any legalization ten days ago and instead called for" a great national debate on drug consumption and its deleterious effects ".
