PORTUGAL: Police policy: 'Here We Blow'

San Diego Union Tribune

Tuesday 15 Jun 2004

Police policy: 'Here We Blow'

Apparently the plan worked. Police reported no arrests or trouble during
France's 2-1 win over England in their opening Euro 2004 match.

The plan? It was widely reported, including in The Guardian, that
Portuguese police in Lisbon would turn a blind eye to soccer fans who
openly smoked pot before or during the game.

Apparently, a stoned crowd is a happy crowd.

Cops, however, planned to crack down on drunk supporters.

Alun Buffry of the Legalise Cannabis Alliance said: "If people are
drinking they lose control; if they smoke cannabis they don't. Alcohol
makes fans fight. But cannabis smokers will be shaking hands and singing
along together."
