Should cannabis be legalized? Yes for Julien Bayou, who tabled an amendment to this effect, we found out in the parisian. Its text could be examined on Thursday or Friday in a public session on the occasion of the Social Security financing bill (PLFSS), if the Government does not issue 49.3 before.
More specifically, the MP Green amendment for Paris “aims to create an excise duty (tax on an amount, editor’s note) on cannabis and cannabis products in the goods and services tax code (CIBS)”.
These products would be allocated to the “sickness, maternity, disability and death branch of the general scheme”, with the aim of “creating an additional resource for the benefit of the basic compulsory Social Security schemes”. If passed, this amendment would therefore lead to the taxation of cannabis, in the same way as alcohol and tobacco.
“Rescue the Secu”
“France has one of the highest rates of addiction among minors in Europe. It must be legalized to better prevent and reduce risks,” writes Julien Bayou on his Twitter account.
The environmentalist also stresses that this “will save social security.” For now, the text has been signed by the deputies of the Europa Ecología Los Verdes group.
As indicated in the parisianNupes foresees in its program for the legislative elections “to legalize and regulate by a state monopoly the production, sale and consumption of cannabis in conditions that allow the fight against addiction”.
For the left, however, it will be necessary to convince other benches on this divisive floor for the Julien Bayou amendment to be adopted.
