For François Braun, neither medical cannabis nor recreational cannabis
While Germany's Health Minister presented its plan to legalize cannabis, François Braun, France's Minister of Health, believes that prohibition is a risk to public health and an opportunity for the black market, and prefers to let French consumers, ill or otherwise, obtain their cannabis illegally.
What arguments does François Braun put forward?
On the subject of medical cannabis, François Braun explained how the French medical cannabis desert had been created by cannabis experimentation, recently citing the following reasons on BFM TV the need to reach the target of 3,000 patients included.
ANSM never set this objective, The sole purpose of the trial is to «evaluate, in real-life situations, the Committee's recommendations on prescribing and dispensing conditions, and the compliance of healthcare professionals and patients with these conditions».
«He added: »I will make decisions" at the end of this experiment on the use of therapeutic cannabis, thus not opening the door to the legalization of medical cannabis in France, and giving no further information on the fate of patients already included.
François Braun also highlights the «contrasting international scientific results» of therapeutic cannabis, without going into further detail. It is probably for these same contrasting results that 22 European countries and 38 American states, in addition to Australia and Israel, now prescribe medical cannabis with varying degrees of restrictions.
When it comes to the legalization of cannabis, the least hypocritical thing you can do is admit to having used it «when I was young». But today's cannabis is not yesterday's cannabis.
«We now have cannabis that is modified, extremely concentrated, and more like hard drugs than the drugs of the 70s,» explains François Braun.
The French Minister of Health is a perfect illustration of the iron law of prohibition, which states that «the harder [the law] is enforced, the more potent the drugs», and the more they become. offer efficiency in the business model They take up less space in storage, less weight in transport, and bring in more money.
If THC levels in cannabis have increased over the past 50 years, And if varieties aren't more balanced in terms of THC:CBD ratio, for example, it's partly because cannabis is banned, with no control over quality and potency.
François Braun, Minister of Health, is «personally» opposed to the legalization of cannabis.
