An analysis based on the latest figures of how the European prohibition policy has failed and why only an end to prohibition combined with the introduction of a regulatory model can break the vicious circle. Whether you calculate in euros or francs, hundreds of millions are pumped into cannabis repression year after year across Europe. Does that change supply or demand? Does it improve consumer or youth protection? The opposite is true. While consumers are criminalized and harassed, dealers, criminal gangs and internationally operating cartels benefit. Year after year, they share the billions in profits, while the state goes empty-handed. In his analysis, journalist Mischa Hauswirth uses the latest figures to show how the European prohibition policy has failed and why only an end to prohibition combined with the introduction of a regulatory model can break the vicious circle. Whoever discusses cannabis today should know what financial effort the current laws entail, how the sensible medical use of hemp is made unnecessarily difficult, and how an economic conspiracy from the 1930s against a valuable useful plant still determines cannabis policy today.
