Poland: Dope smokers puff for hash legalisation in Poland

Morning Star

Sunday 19 Feb 2012

A prominent Polish politician and several activists smoked cannabis in front of parliament on Friday as part of a campaign to decriminalise the drug.

Police looked on as the head of the liberal Palikot's Movement, Janusz Paliko and several other people took puffs in the snow.

Dozens more gathered around a platform where they smoked and chanted: "Grow it, smoke it, legalise it."

Activists said they want the country's laws changed to decriminalise the possession and consumption of cannabis.

They said they consider it hypocrisy that Poland is a major vodka producer but punishes casual users of soft drugs with prison terms of up to three years.

"Vodka is more dangerous than marijuana," said Mateusz Klinowski, a law professor and head of the Polish Drug Policy Network, a group campaigning to decriminalise soft drug use.

He said Poland's laws were "outdated and wrongheaded."
