Mikalsen v Norway: Moving a Nation Forward
CANNABIS CULTURE – New documentary focuses in on one man’s fight to end cannabis prohibition!
On the 7th of September, Life Liberty productions will release a three-part documentary that covers the problems with the drug policy and human rights. In this series, the connection to the arbitrary persecution of the past is explained and a historic judgement of the European Court presented. Watch the trailer here!Worldwide, the drug prohibition is increasingly seen as one of the main challenges to establish a new relation between the state and the people. Contrary to today’s persecution and bondage, constitutional principles must be embraced, but some countries refuse to accept international guidelines.
Norway is one of these nations. While Germany, Malta, Luxembourg, and other states are leaving the prohibition behind to better protect human rights, the Scandinavian countries maintain a shared fondness for authoritarian drug policies. For 20 years, the Norwegian state has failed to honour basic human rights commitments and the European Court has been asked to ensure that modern drug policy fulfils a legitimate purpose.
To the extent that a regulated cannabis market is better suited to protect public health, the prohibition will represent an unduly invasive practice, and this series follows Norwegian activists on a quest for justice.
By the end of September, the judgement of the Court shall be presented. Will it be the dawning of a new age for drug policy on the European continent?
This trailer surely raises expectations.
