Dwoch ambitnych

fanatykow prohibicjonizmu, ktorzy nie dostana ode mnie glosu w nadchodzacych wyborach to:

(1) Michael Ignatieff. Rosyjski arystokrata. Lider Partii Liberalnej Kanady. Kandydat na premiera Kanady.
(2) Donald Tusk. Polski Kaszub. Lider postkomunistycznej Partii Obywatelskiej. Moze i kandydat na prezydenta RP.

Ci rasisci sa dalej za utrzymaniem prohibicjonistycznego status quo i dalszym prowadzeniem wojny z narkotykami. Sa przeciwnikami legalizacji marihuany. Glos na nich, to glos na ciemnote, rasizm, obskurantyzm, przemoc i niewole umyslowa. Zachowanie tych dwoch osob jest obraza dla polskiej szlachty, ktora wslawila sie swoja niebywala tolerancja. Polski szlachcic nigdy nie byl rasista i nigdy by nie zaakceptowal w swoim panstwie prohibicji z tego powodu.

PIOTR NAJSZTUB: Po emocji w sprawie dopalaczy rozumiem, ze zwolennicy legalizacji marihuany nigdy nie znajda w panu wsparcia.
DONALD TUSK: We mnie nie. A czy kiedys w Polsce marihuana bedzie legalna? Poki ja bede mial cos do powiedzenia - nie. Od razu moge uprzedzic zlosliwy komentarz, miedzy innymi dlatego, ze wiem, co to znaczy.
PIOTR NAJSZTUB: To bylo az tak zle doswiadczenie?
DONALD TUSK: Na pewno u bardzo wielu ludzi zwieksza pole ryzyka.
PIOTR NAJSZTUB: Nie odkryl pan czegos w sobie dzieki marihuanie? Niektorzy odkrywaja...
DONALD TUSK: Ja nie ("Nie przejde do historii", PRZEKROJ, 5 stycznia 2010).

Mr. Ignatieff's recent appearances reveal one notable policy intersection between him and Mr. Obama: status quo, relatively speaking, on the war on drugs. Back in March, during the radiant new President's "online town hall," he played a serious question about legalizing and regulating marijuana for cheap laughs. While not very hopeful or changeful, the takeaway message was at least coherent: Get a job, you bunch of useless hippies.
Then there's our Liberal leader. According to blogger Adrian MacNair, earlier this month at a stop at the University of British Columbia, Mr. Ignatieff was asked about Ross Rebagliati's nomination to run for the Grits in the B.C. interior. In response, he opined that other people's habits were none of his business; that "possession of small amounts of marijuana" shouldn't be a criminal matter - which it is, of course; that "nobody should suffer consequences for personal recreational uses of marijuana"; and that if someone was to ask him if he wanted to legalize it, he'd "say no."
This baffles me. Mr. Ignatieff's nascent pot policy, not unlike his Liberal forbears', seems to involve driving up the demand through decriminalization whilst cracking down on its supply, and hoping that somehow - perhaps through witchcraft? - this would not drive up the price and encourage more criminals to get into the racket.
It is true that the penalties for simple possession would be less serious. But enforcement of marijuana laws increases under decriminalization schemes, because cops needn't impose the sort of "personal consequences" that disqualify people from international travel and all but the smelliest and most humiliating careers. Are whopping fines not also significant "personal consequences"? If Mr. Rebagliati is good enough for the Liberals and (theoretically) the people of Okanagan-Coquihala, why should other Canadians be punished for partaking of his high of choice?

Pot: The gateway to political success

Re: Ignatieff's Gateway To The Status Quo, Chris Selley, Jan. 22.
Voting patterns in the United States show a much greater turnout for ballot initiatives - be they local or state - involving marijuana. Part of the reason the GOP won a Senate seat in Massachusetts is because Martha Coakley, the Democrat, was working to undermine a state marijuana decriminalization law and the left saw no reason to turn out to support her. In Michigan, the medical cannabis referendum got 10% more yes votes than Barack Obama.
Perhaps that explains the flippant and evasive dismissals of marijuana regulation by both Mr. Obama and Michael Ignatieff. A colleague explained it to me: Marijuana is more popular than any politician. That's why they hate it so much. And while Obama's popularity is shrinking marijuana is more popular now. The reason? Good marijuana doesn't lie.
