les lobbys pro-alcool contre la légalisation du cannabis

Le 2 novembre prochain, les électeurs californiens pourront se prononcer sur la proposition 19 qui se propose de légaliser la vente et la consommation de cannabis (voir récapitulatif de cette loi plus bas). Le débat fait rage et comme il est d’usage chaque camp s’organise pour défendre sa position. Y compris le camp du « non » regroupé sous le nom de « public safety first« , une organisation qui se charge notamment d’envoyer des milliers d’e-mails expliquant les méfaits supposés de la légalisation du cannabis. Les choses deviennent intéressantes quand on observe les donateurs. Les premiers n’offrent aucune surprise vu que ce sont des associations de policiers (California Police Chief’s Association et California Narcotics Officers Association). Mais derrière ces candidats prévisibles, se trouve une petite surprise:  « california beer and beverage distributors » qui représente plus de 100 marques de bière. Si la plupart des marques nous sont inconnues, certaines marques comme Heineken ou Guinness appartiennent à cette association. Elle se place désormais comme l’un des plus généreux opposants aux lois de régulation sur le cannabis. Impossible d’y voir autre chose qu’une manoeuvre pragmatique dans le but de conserver ses parts de marché. Belle ironie de voir les représentants d’une des principales causes de mortalité financer une association portant le nom de « la sécurité publique d’abord »

Ceci dit en suivant la même logique, on pourrait s’attendre à un financement des livreurs de pizza en faveur de cette proposition.

Le résultat final de ce vote risque d’être très serré. Un sondage mené début septembre indiquait 47% pour, 43% contre et 10% d’indécis.

La victoire serait en tous cas une bonne nouvelle pour la Californie, la mesure ayant des avantages pour tout le monde, et pas seulement les consommateurs (voir plus bas). Un bel exemple venu d’un pays influent qui pourrait débloquer le débat dans bien d’autres. Le simple fait que cette proposition existe montre le retard pris par la France sur ce domaine.

Si cette loi passe, les personnes de plus de 21 ans pourront:

• Posséder jusqu’à 28g de cannabis pour leur consommation personnelle
• Consommer du cannabis hors des lieux publics comme une résidence personnelle ou lieu possédant une licence pour la consommation de cannabis.
• Cultiver du cannabis dans une résidence privée dans un espace maximum de 2,3 m2
•
