Det var da trist at Brian Mikkelsen ikke engang gider tage sig tid til at se ordenligt på sagen..

Hashhandel kostede mand livet

Det kan koste livet, hvis man overtræder de uskrevne regler om at handle med hash i fristaden Christiania.

Drabschef Ove Dahl mener nu, at motivet til drabet onsdag på den 26-årige Ahmed Reza Jamali er den lukrative handel med hash.

- Vores teori er, at han tilsyneladende ikke overholdt spillereglerne for handel med hash på Christiania, siger drabschef Ove Dahl, Københavns Politi.

Mødtes med sin morder

En yderligere teori er, at den dræbte, der har iransk baggrund, måske selv havde aftalt at mødes med sin morder. Meget tyder på, at gerningsmanden stod og ventede på den nu dræbte.

Ifølge Ove Dahl ligner drabet en ren likvidering.

Ahmed Reza Jamali blev dræbt med tre skud affyret ind gennem sideruden på sin bil. De ramte ham i nakken, og han var død, da redningsmandskabet nåede frem. Politiet leder fortsat efter gerningsmanden.

så kom der endnu et ungt lig på bordet. hvor mange flere regering? Lad os nu få de coffeeshops etableret.

Hvis vi er heldige, så måske indenfor 10-20 år. Men jeg tror ikke på det bliver indenfor de næste par år.
Det har vi simpelthen nogle alt for konservative politikere til.

Copenhagen Considers Legalizing Cannabis
By Ed Freeman, Cannabis Culture - Wednesday, September 16 2009


CANNABIS CULTURE - A debate over legal marijuana has been raging in Denmark this summer because of an unpleasant gang war.

Denmark has had a liberal attitude towards cannabis since the 1970s. The open sale of hashish and marijuana had long been tolerated in the famous Pusher Street in Christiania, a haven for hippies and anarchists allowed to exist in the middle of Copenhagen. In its early years, Christiania had a conflict between users and sellers of hard and soft drugs, and the hard drugs were expelled from the village. Only soft drugs were tolerated, a policy that has worked well for many years.

Since the conservative government chose to close down the open sale in 2004, the cannabis market spread all over Copenhagen. Cannabis quickly became even more available than before, and illegal coffeeshops, so called "hash clubs" opened everywhere. Danish police have closed over 150 such clubs in Copenhagen. In Odense, Denmark's third-largest city, they are still openly advertising their services.

With increasing clampdowns came increasing violence, and biker gangs were pitted against other gangs consisting mainly of immigrants. Gangs performed visitations of random passerbys to check for rival gang members, and several liquidations and shootouts took place. People were afraid to get caught in the crossfire, and the Danish police asked people to stop buying hashish.

That's when several danish politicians came up with a better idea: legalize it. And don't do like the dutch and just legalize the retail outlets, but the whole chain, to take away the entire criminal market. The Social Magistrate of Copenhagens city council, Mikkel Warming, suggested letting coffee shops sell hashish legally. His proposal was not voted on, instead the city council voted to get concrete proposals on how it can be done, and continue debate after summer.

Ann-Sofie Von Bech of the Social Administration of Copenhagen came up with the requested report and recommendations on the 25th of May. The report refers to the Beckley Foundation Cannabis Commission report in several places. It can be read here, through Google Translate:

In short, the report concludes (like Arnold Schwarzenegger) that there are no examples of state controlled and regulated cannabis, but that it could nevertheless be an alternative to the current situation of illegality. It admits that prohibition has not had an effect on use of cannabis or the criminality surrounding it. Furthermore, the report recommends that the government, if they choose to legalize, put an eighteen year age limit on the drug, and that relevant information about harmful effects are distributed to users. Advertising would be illegal, and the situation should be monitored closely.

Polls showed that 59% of Denmark supports legalization, and a majority of the youth wings of the political parties support it as well; however, the chances of it passing now are slim, as it would have to be approved by the Ministry of Justice.

The Minister of Justice has already made it clear that Copenhagen would not get this dispensation, but a majority of Copenhagen's politicians are taking this discussion seriously, and Warming says the "idea is being kept alive".

Expect debate to continue soon, especially if the drug wars do not calm down in Copenhagen.

Københavns kommune er klar med en model for fri hash som forsøg for at underminere det kriminelle marked. En behandler er imod forslaget.

En konkret model for fri hash som forsøg ligger nu klar på Københavns Rådhus: Salgssteder med statsmonopol skal i et treårigt forsøg sælge hash til alle, der har lyst til at købe - og det skal være hash høstet på lovlige hampemarker, skriver Politiken torsdag.

Det offentlige salg skal underminere det kriminelle hashmarked. Salget kan enten foregå "i afslappede omgivelser" på caféer - eller i mere neutrale butikker a la det svenske spritmonopol. I begge modeller skal der være personale, som kan rådgive om brugen af hash.

Udspillet kommer i et notat fra embedsmænd, der i foråret blev bedt om at komme med modeller. Notatet maner bekymringen for, at en afkriminalisering vil føre til flere misbrugere, i jorden:

- Forbruget er ikke er højere i de lande, der har afkriminaliseret hash til eget brug, står der. Der henvises især til Holland, hvor salg af hash er lovligt, og hvor forbruget er lavere end i Danmark.

Et politisk flertal i København bestående af Socialdemokraterne, SF, Enhedslisten og de radikale plus venstremanden Lars Dueholm går ind for forsøg med afkriminalisering af hashhandel.

Merete Nordentoft, psykiatrisk overlæge og leder af et hashbehandlingsprojekt for unge sindslidende, er imod forslaget:

- Det kan ikke undgå at gøre hashen mere tilgængelig. I dag skal du dog bevæge dig et bestemt sted hen og købe det i skjul, siger hun til Politiken.

Borgerrepræsentationen skal formentlig inden jul sende et endeligt forslag til Justitsministeriet, fordi et forsøg med legal hashhandel kræver lovændringer.
