While repression fails to turn anyone away from its use, it does leave consumers in the grip of a criminal system. Conversely, legalizing cannabis allows to reduce crime, does not lead to a significant rise of consumption, and enables a good protection of the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>An overview of the various experiments carried out abroad (Uruguay, United States, Canada) shows the superiority of models based on a regulated cannabis market to dry up the black market.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>We stand for the liberalisation of production, distribution and consumption of cannabis in France.<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We campaign for a private-sector production through a licensing system subjected to regulation in order to ensure best compliance with health standards.<\/p>\n<p>Distribution is allowed for all licence holders and also open to some former dealers to facilitate their economic transition.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as for tobacco, sales are prohibited to minors and consumption is restricted in certain places opened to the public.
