Die letzte Bastion der Planwirtschaft (Drogenpolitik) PDF: bisdro.uni-bremen.de/FSQUENSEL/bossong_scheerer.pdf The current federal republican - conservative, liberal and even radical - discussion of the drug issue is a basic setting dominated, which only provides for the so-called illegal drugs and those only from the sins paradigm 'is responsible, and therefore only looks after their causes such as bad for their bad consequences.
Nowhere could a planned economy to exist, which would not have been accompanied by a complex system of exchange relations, illegal or superimposed.
is actually the main reason for the prohibition of drugs in the belief that they - unlike alcohol and tobacco - destroyed not only a minority of consumers, but normally will act. While there may be a few heroic individuals who, in spite of contact with the Rauschgiften vor einem Abgleiten in die Sucht bewahren könnten, siege in der Regel bei diesen dangerous drugs die Droge über den Menschen. Deshalb die Notwendigkeit – selbst der liberalsten Gesellschaften –, die Entscheidung über den Kauf und Konsum von Drogen nicht jedem Bürger selbst zu überlassen, nur um dann passiv der Zerstörung seines Willens, seiner Arbeitskraft und seiner Existenz zuzusehen. Im folgenden geht es um nicht mehr und nicht weniger als den Versuch, diese Grundannahme als den größten und entscheidenden Irrtum der Drogenpolitik zu problematisieren.
Alle Drogen sind domestizierbar Wenn es als der wichtigste Unterschied zwischen Stimulants and narcotics is considered that tobacco can be handed over as a rule the market, while drugs are so strong that they usually also of "ordinary adult citizens" can not be used solely responsible, then rises and falls, the legitimacy of shared drug policy with the question whether the drug actually banned "normally" this term consequences.
One should make the soft drugs legally available in some form? So many ideas and policy initiatives already exist. In the Netherlands, the consumer is effectively decriminalized. And nothing happened. Neither the use has spread - nor is there a particularly high proportion of "problem users". Normally dominates the man the drug.
making narcotics addiction? - New answers The state of knowledge has changed dramatically in the last two decades. Today we know: The theory that intoxication or narcotics its consumers as it addictive per se and as a rule, is too plain and simply wrong. This applies to cannabis and heroin, but also for cocaine, and probably for crack cocaine.
The conclusion There is no way the conclusion by these findings. If we think is right, the already legal stimulant also keep to remain legal - and if we think that this is because we are a liberal human being obliged to undertake any unnecessary regimentation of the citizens of an open society rejects not worthy place but which the majority of citizens, in our case, place the drugs coming of age (Gundula bass), ie understand and to learn of the individual as an immutable basic premise of our society - there is no reason why the division of drugs into legitimate and maintain illegal. The drug policy should not only do they must then be re-united (she was even into the late 19th century have been already). If the consequences of the use of crack is not fundamentally different than the consumption of alcohol, then apply the freedom limits that apply to alcohol, in principle (not in detail) for the day (even unfairly) banned drugs.
One could finally dispense without remorse on the current planning system in the drug sector - a foreign body in our economic and social system, the benefit of a noble, but on false premises building illusion much unnecessary suffering - caused - not to mention the material costs in whole added.
The failure of the planned economy almost everywhere in the world could be observed in recent decades, the failure of the planned economy. Strangely, it was only a finger at other countries and systems without obvious parallels to their own economies to discover. The population of Western countries is not even aware that it is primarily an economic plan enclave in their societies is that functions no better than the Soviet-style planned economy - and the save in the long run, nor will be like this.
Obviously we are dealing here with an ultra-stable "mind prison" of the Stephan Quentin conceptually influenced (as well as him and as a wonderful kind of Christian Marzahn analyzed) to do art. Sitting in the prison of the planned economy and not even notice it. Man lives with the brilliant and devastating side effects of this command economy and not even realize it. This is the system that was hailed by its inventors themselves very publicly as a planned economy, then as now the same.
In principle, it is believed, is the control system [...] perfect. Man express celebrates "the complete control of an entire industry and a trade, which extends over the whole earth." Man express celebrates a system that we, as in the Broschüre des Völkerbundes von 1934 hieß, „gewöhnlich ‚Planwirtschaft’ nennt.“
Der Völkerbund heißt heute UNO. Das Opium-Zentralkomitee heißt heute International Narcotics Control Board. Statt in Genf sitzt man in Wien. Der Name Planwirtschaft ist aus dem Vokabular gestrichen. Betrieben wird sie freilich wie eh und je. Wie bei jeder Planwirtschaft, so hilft auch hier eine Art rhetorischer Selbstsuggestion über mögliche Zweifel und Anfechtungen hinweg. Man gratuliert sich dauernd selbst zu den schönsten Erfolgen und freut sich auf den nahen Sieg.
Wie auch die sowjetische, so funktioniert die Drogenplanwirtschaft auf dem Papier auf bewundernswerte Weise. Die Globalzentrale ermittelt den Bedarf eines jeden Staates und genehmigt den berechtigten Bedarf. Gerechnet wird in Gramm. So hatte z.B. Deutschland einen Bedarf von 10. 000 Gramm Kokain (und Null Gramm Cannabis) angemeldet. Das Zentralkomitee hat den Bedarf bestätigt und sorgt für Anbau und pünktliche Lieferung. Alles funktioniert zur Zufriedenheit.
Doch wie in der Sowjetunion, wo auch immer alles zur Zufriedenheit funktionierte, und wo doch neben dem Bedarf immer noch ein weiterer – und weitaus größerer – Bedarf an Schuhen und Fleisch, an Hüten und Hühnern, an Jeans und an Joghurt bestand, den ein riesenhafter und schwungvoller Schwarzhandel freilich völlig unkontrolliert von den Behörden zu befriedigen suchte, so hat auch the drug has long planned economy a big brother, the legal trade is many hundred times, if not taller than a thousand times over. It's like in the Soviet Union. Because the more the bureaucratic requirements determination of the actual needs of the population, the more powerful are bootleggers, smugglers and gangsters.
The drug black market can compete with the black market, which in recent years, there was the Soviet empire, they do.
What is now drug policy? The martial, but helpless, the thought for the people but against them acting attempt with the consequences of failed economic plan zurechtzukommen.
Eine künftige Drogengesetzgebung sollte sich wie die alte am bestmöglichen Kenntnisstand über den Normalfall des Konsums orientieren. Da sich gerade dieses Wissen radikal geändert hat, können die Regeln nicht dieselben bleiben. Drogen sind – neben anderen Verwendungsweisen, die sie dann auch zu etwas anderem werden lassen – vor allem eines: Genussmittel. Wenn wir für die Anerkennung der Legitimität der Bedürfnisse einstehen, stehen wir auch für unsere eigenen Rechte ein. Einem gesellschaftspolitischen Engagement gegenüber, das hingegen immer nur verbissen für die Anderen kämpft (und das Recht auf Genuss normalerweise nicht zum Kernbereich der Persönlichkeitsrecht zählt), is greatest caution. La Rioja, the people at most times this drink, be grudged them.
How to enjoy wine, if forced to hide in the same society the friends of a joint or an opium pipe like lepers?
