The Great Depression of 1929 in the United States was overcome in large part by the abolition of the prohibition era and the marketing of alcoholic drinks. Fast forward to today, and the economic crisis following the coronavirus could lead to a new type of legalisation.
In the face of an unprecedented economic crisis, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, bold and groundbreaking action is needed. According to international rankings, Spain has one of the most pessimistic prospects for economic recovery in the world, caused in large part by the decline in tourism. As a result, one of the most well-received proposals is the legalisation of recreational drugs such as cannabis.
Legalizing cannabis would generate more than 100,000 jobs and billions of euros in revenue.
The legalisation of cannabis use is becoming more and more popular, a measure that already exists in countries such as Canada, the United States, Uruguay and the Netherlands. It is estimated that the legalisation of cannabis would generate more than 100.000 new jobs and between 3,000 and 5,000 million euros in annual taxes A new income that could be used to support the health and education systems.
Removing this product from the black market would not only bring economic benefits. It would free the police and judiciary from persecuting farmers and consumers, which would allow all efforts to be focused on security and prosecuting dangerous criminals. Also, there will be greater control of the quality of the product, as well as heavily reducing the trafficking and corruption that are involved in the drug trade. Decriminalisation could even reduce consumption and addiction, as has happened in California and the Netherlands.
Currently, the information about cannabis in Spain is contradictory. While possession, private cultivation, and self-consumption are permitted, the sale is considered illegal and is classified as drug trafficking. However, private smoking clubs have proliferated throughout Catalonia in recent years, where buying and consuming is allowed. Another contradiction is found in the therapeutic use of cannabis, helping alleviate the effects of chemotherapy for cancer patients for example. In this case, it is decriminalised when purchasing the product but many patients are forced to use the black market. The most logical way would be to buy it at a pharmacy, as in Germany.
