SUMMARY OF THE CONFERENCE "CANNABIS AND YOU"
Last week the "Cannabis and You" conference
was held with the Basque Association of Journalists and the College of
Physicians of Bizkaia. In this conference topics such as "Will the sale
and consumption of cannabis be regulated? Benefits or damages of that regulation ..."
The conference took place in Bilbao and
involved several doctors, journalists, lawyers, even regional police.
In the Basque Country there are around 180 cannabis associations which sum up about 7,000 members. The Basque government is preparing the bases to regulate the current situation of these associations.
According to a survey from the FAD some
time ago, 52.1% of Spanish citizens would be in favor of regulating
cannabis. Dr. Uriarte, participant in the conference, said that the
problem is not cannabis, it is ignorance about cannabis, since it has
many uses, not only the medicinal or recreational aspect, "we have to
open our minds, for example in the US, 2 out of 3 Americans are in favor
of regulation"
The ertzainza Jesus Maria Herrero said that
the possession of cannabis for own consumption in a private space
"would not incur any illegality." On this issue, Del Valle criticized
the lack of regulation, since it produces "certain imbalance", since it
is legal a crop "that can be justified as own consumption" although
there is no specific amount that has legal consideration. "Each
consumption is different" in each user.
We want to emphazize that prevention and youth education is necessary. These are the most vulnerable and "what is illegal for them is often an incentive". It was also pointed out that when the advantage of regulation is explained, it is not "banalized", as well was agreed that "politicians should not avoid this debate"
