During a broadcast on Twitch, the LFI MP expressed the desire to entrust the sale of cannabis, if it were to be legalized, to convicted dealers. A proposal which caused a reaction on the right.
LFI deputy Sébastien Delogu has been making news on social networks in recent days. He actually suggested, if cannabis were to be legalized, to entrust its sale to convicted dealers.
“If we ask for the legalization of cannabis and for the delivery of cannabis to be well managed by the French state, this leads to questions about the people who have been penalized before, and that we give them the opportunity to sell and to govern that, it somehow avoids confining them and perhaps letting them go, perhaps selling another drug.he declared during a broadcast broadcast on the Twitch application, according to BFM TV.
A response from the right
“We cannot highlight people who have been convicted, who have broken the law when everyone, all French men and women who get up early to work, are respectful of common law”explains Sylvain Soumite, LR mayor of the 11th and 12th arrondissements of the Marseille city, according to BFM Marseille Provence.
For his part, Bruno Retailleau declared on his X profile: “In Mr. Delogu's ideal world, the dealer is an honorable civil servant. In mine, he lost his social housing, he no longer has the right to appear in the neighborhood where he dealt, he no longer has benefits and he's in jail.”
The rebellious deputies continue in their pro-drug delusions.
Should we remind them that drugs destroy adolescents, break up families, cause more than 20% of road deaths, etc.? ?In Mr. Delogu's ideal world, the dealer is a civil servant… https://t.co/MXECmGoR52

“Promote the skills acquired during trafficking”
Antoine Léaument, LFI deputy for Essonne, expressed this Thursday, January 2, on the Apolline Matin show: “If we legalize cannabis within a state framework, provide an amnesty for people convicted, either for petty dealing or for consumption, to allow them, they called it “valorizing the skills” acquired during illegal trafficking.”
The MP underlines that a possible legalization of a narcotic, such as cannabis, “is a policy to fight against trafficking”which must be accompanied by a prevention component, for example.
