Czech Republic: Press Release of Legalizace.cz - The freedom to grow - SAY NO TO A POLICE STATE!

Thursday 07 Nov 2013

On Monday, November 4th, 2013, the Police of the Czech Republic launched an unprecedented operation evidently aimed at liquidating growshops, i.e. shops with accessories for growing plants. These shops offer entirely legal products, mainly growing technology, substrates, fertilizer and plant seeds. During the state-wide raid, more than 50 such shops that have been in business legally for many years had been cleared out by policemen without warning. All this based on a questionable legal article concerning the spreading of toxicomania (spreading of non alcoholic drug abuse) and a judicial decision of the Supreme Court from 2012 by which the owners of a garden store were given a suspended sentence for spreading toxicomania.

These events once again prove how easy it is to exploit dysfunctional and dated antidrug laws that do not solve actual drug issues, but only constitute an effective tool for the police to persecute citizens. It is absolutely apparent that this police raid is merely playing into the hands of mainly the big fish of the black market with marijuana and the forthcoming, state-licensed companies that are preparing to take over the legal trade with medical marijuana. Simultaneously, the action of the police goes completely against the global trend of easing up on cannabis prohibition and against public opinion and interest.

The Legalizace.cz association will not idly sit by and allow this catastrophic violation of civil rights and freedoms to go on. For that reason it calls for A DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE LIQUIDATION OF GROWSHOPS which will take place on Saturday, 9 November 2013 from 8pm at the Old Town Square in Prague.

The full version of press release please find eclosed in attachment.

Thank you for sharing

See you at Cannafest in Prague this weekend
