What has the senior consultant Henrik Rindom, Brigadier General Finn Saermark-Thomsen and kriminalassistent Tom Guldbæk Olsen in common?
They are all in favor of the legalization of cannabis.
Just like an architect Lasse Grosbøll, priest Flemming Press, Public Erik Merlung, actor John Hahn-Petersen and economics professor Gunnar Horlund Jepsen.
And the motley flock agrees with a significant majority of Danes. A study done for the Street Lawyers in Vesterbro shows that 59 percent of Danes believe that cannabis should be legal. It is significantly more than previous studies.
It is the simmering unrest in Nørrebro, which is used to explain the great support right now. The legalization of cannabis is a very effective means of reducing violence in the streets, says the number of people who supports a legalization. One of them is a senior consultant in psychiatry at Hvidovre Hospital and director of the Drug Advice in Copenhagen Henrik Rindom. He has nothing left over for the current effort to hash to life.
"Today, half of all young people tried to smoke cannabis before the age of 20 years, and the only thing we get out of that ban, is that we do half of our young people are criminals," said, indicating that the Denmark needs young people who participate in society rather than young people who are excluded because of the black criminal records and debt.
"The young people who are taken with hashish in his pocket, the 2500 kroner in fines. It is money that they can not pay, so there is often only one way out - and they are committing crime and even start to sell hashish, "said, which advocates the decriminalization of cannabis.
"There is nothing to give fines. Instead, it should be legal to buy hashish for personal consumption if you are over 18 years. As in Holland, it must be possible to buy hash at certain points in limited quantities," said that denies that a legalization of cannabis would mean an increase in consumption.
"People smoke the hashish, they will. The legalization will not mean increased consumption or more harm," stresses Henrik Rindom and call this' completely ridiculous' when the police go on a raid and seize a few kilograms of hashish.
"In 1999 police seized 12.5 tonnes of hashish, more than ever before. But it did not market and hashish price remained the same, because there was such large quantities in stock," said.
Animals fight
Police struggle to close down cannabis clubs and join networks wiped cost resources. But the resources that have been used, had no effect. It feels kriminalassistent at Frederiksberg Police Guldbæk Tom Olsen.
"For in retrospect it should be noted that the control action on the use of cannabis has not had the intended effect and has therefore been particularly important." How to write the previous urobetjent in a speech in a book about cannabis in Denmark.
He estimates that "the economic profits that are associated with the sale of cannabis in the 'illegal market' must be estimated at several billion dollars annually. Money is often, and especially over the recent years, increasingly been distributed more or less structured criminal organizations. One could, therefore, by the legalization of cannabis, not only reduce the control effort, but also remove the economic benefit that is so attractive to criminal organizations, "writes Tom Guldbæk Olsen.
As senior consultant Henrik Rindom he rejects that legalization would mean more hashish smokers.
"Studies from the Netherlands, where authorities have a more nuanced view on the use of cannabis indicates that the user audience, as in Western culture is a potential user of cannabis audience - namely young people - is no more in Holland than in countries where use is coated with a ban, "concludes police officer.
The same conclusion architect Lasse Grosbøll. He has recently written a columnist for the Civil internet newspaper 180grader, and here he writes: "The main argument for liberalizing the law on narcotics, however, is that the harm from the ban far exceeds the preventive effect, the ban has. An example of these harmfulness is the violence that follows in the wake of a comprehensive ban on drug use. "
Lasse Grosbøll suggest that efforts against hashish and other drugs on several occasions has been exacerbated in the last year, but it has changed in the young cannabis habits.
Spiritual mention things
Brigadier General Finn Saermark-Thomsen share the same view. Together with members of a 'spiritual mention things' - which, among other counts Public Erik Merlung, director and former chairman of Politiken Erik Mollerup, actor John Hahn-Petersen and Professor at the Institute of Economics at the University of Aarhus Gunnar Jepsen Horlund he resigned in 2003 to the Government to encourage the legalization of cannabis. Finn Saermark-Thomsen still supports the legalization and apologize to the information that politicians have not responded to the group's request. Head Henrik Rindom is also critical of politicians.
"It's frustrating to be spent so many resources to combat trafficking of hashish, as it has been decided by a small group of politicians rather one-sided," said.
Besides the politicians at Christiansborg are - according Consultant - another group of people who must learn to deal with hash in other ways than by reducing the ban.
"Parents are miserable to inform their offspring in a constructive way when it comes to a position on cannabis. They do not take into account to create a framework in which children can talk about their experiences with the hash. We are not raising our children to meeting on hashish culture, we are part of, "says Henrik Rindom.
