Cannabis fines extended throughout Val-de-Marne
While the’Cannabis fines will be deployed in September across all of France, and that it had previously been tested in Rennes, Reims, Créteil, and Boissy-Saint-Léger, the 9-4 has the honor of being the first department to test the flat-rate misdemeanor fine which criminalizes simple cannabis use, without however eliminating potential legal proceedings.
L’fine Poulliat, named after the deputy who supported and ratified its creation, has been presented about fifteen times, according to information from Le Parisien, in the two Val-de-Marne towns already testing the program: Créteil and Boissy-Saint-Léger. The newspaper also recalls that the conditions for issuing the fine (being an adult, having your papers, admitting the offense...) do not facilitate a procedure that is nevertheless sold as «modern and efficient» by the information commission that had studied the implementation of the system.
Some associations have already I responded to this re-criminalization of cannabis before the Council of State. Consumers caught violating simple drug use laws (consumption or possession) in public will indeed be filed for 10 years in a file widely accessible by many people, with potential side effects deemed too severe in relation to the offense by the associations that filed the appeal.
