  • From the telegraph, Greens proposals on drugs and brothels Drugs, brothels, al-Qaeda and the Beyonce tax: the Green Party plan for Britain – Telegraph

    The trade and cultivation of cannabis will be decriminalised under Green policy, along with possession of Class A and B drugs for personal use. Anti-rave laws would be scrapped.

    Higher taxes will be brought in on alcohol and tobacco, and a complete alcohol advertising ban imposed.

    All elements of the sex industry will be decriminalised, and prostitutes could no longer be discriminated against in child custody cases.

    The Greens also want to see “significantly reduced” levels of imprisonment, with jail only used when there is a “substantial risk of a further grave crime” or in cases where offences are so horrific that offenders would be at risk of vigilantes. Prisoners will be given the vote.

    Here’s the lib dems own page from when they announced the manifesto.

    The time for action on drugs reform is now

    The libdems have already been in power to some extent; perhaps they might be behind the “slow action” against NPS but it falls short of what they promised last time round.

    Until the late 90s the Greens had an entire microsite about their drugs policy; it disappeared some time in the 2000s. I suspect the Torygraph’s interpretation of it to be exaggerated and biased (although if the Greens did implement those policies it would actually stop a great deal of the feared negative economic effects – legalised raves would create a shit ton of jobs across Britain in event management and logistics, possibly more than tech companies create as events with real humans in them need more real humans to make them fun and safe than a bit of computer software. Tolerance of music events and local music scenes already does that in Northern European nations with a lot of green/leftwing parties in the councils. A lot of their policies are far from “loony left” and are already in place in other North European nations have not exactly caused an economic crash…

    If we had proportional representation in this country I’d vote for the Greens at a general election and I already normally vote for them at Council elections.
