Title

Weed like to talk

Object

A European solution to a European issue : legalizing cannabis.
The ECI Weed like to talk aims at making the EU adopt a common policy on the control and regulation of cannabis production, use and sale.

Main Objectives

There is currently a heterogeneous legal map as regards cannabis policies in the EU. The question of coherence and discrimination is worth asking.
A common policy on the control and regulation of cannabis production, use and sale would: (a) ensure equality before the law and non-discrimination of all EU citizens; (b) protect consumers and monitor health security; (c) end cannabis trafficking.

Let’s leap toward the legalization of cannabis and the harmonization of national legislations accross the EU.
​
Legal Basis
​
TFEU: Art.67 (police cooperation); Art.168 (health protection); Art.169 (consumer protection)
Charter of Fundamental Rights : Art.20; Art.38

If you feel inclined, join the cause!! Since it's a grass roots campaign it's all about spreading the word and printing flyers and whatnot

You can also find Weed like to talk on Facebook and Twitter. If you're from Sweden go visit the Flashback thread about this initiative.
If you're Danish, put up flyers at Roskilde this year.
If you're from the UK, SPREAD THE WORD, most of you brits are unaware of this initiative!

I know there will be a lot of marijuana events around Europe this year, so how about printing a bunch of flyers and spreading them around those events?
