Schwarzenegger confessed the sins of youth

Cannabis is not a drug. Such sensational "discovery" made a few days ago, the world's most famous governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. In an interview with the British magazine GQ, he admitted that when young smoked "grass", but considered it "normal" leaves, and not a means of narcotic. Recently, people in the West, public policy and less ashamed to make statements about "his" turbulent past. But the most surprising that they have and invent justify their actions, making them "immoral" in the "permitted".

Statement Schwarzenegger that he had not used drugs, as well as marijuana is "just leaves" certainly pleased almost 1 million Americans who, according to statistics, at least once in their lifetime tried smoking "grass". Meanwhile, experts still insist that marijuana is not "just leaves", and the drug is present. "There are two types of drugs-legal (prohibited by law) and medical (prohibited for medical reasons). So, marijuana is a legal drug, "said in an interview with RBC daily medical programs supervisor fund" No drug and alcohol abuse "(NAS) Sergei Polyatykin.

Today, marijuana is the most prevalent drug in the United States, despite the fact that it is prohibited in the country at the legislative level. However, in some states its use for medical purposes is allowed. Incidentally, a few years ago, Schwarzenegger also won voters to vote their future, calling to legalize the use of marijuana in California for medical purposes.

This summer epic addiction most popular governor in the country received an interesting continuation. Coalition manufacturers and dealers of marijuana California suggested Schwarzenegger one billion dollars to solve the budget problems the state in exchange for permission to grow marijuana. "The prohibition of marijuana is an economic disaster," said the activists pronarkoticheskoy coalition.

Unknown is whether the recent statement by Schwarzenegger that "marijuana is not a drug" legalization "durman-travy prerequisite" in the state of California, or simply Arni "reservation" with a view to another, which insists on the representative of the Governor. Nastorazhivaet another. Recently, more and more politicians and public persons expose their "youthful peccadilloes" almost as dignity, absolutely no hesitation about what effect their words might have. Experts say that in the end society is beginning to erode the line between unauthorized and prohibited, and the people no longer understand what is good and what is bad.

Cannabis, in this sense, is almost the most popular topic on which piaryatsya "Western" policy. Do not feel particularly its past associated with smoking lawn, and the head of the MIA British Jackie Smith. This summer she openly declared that "smoked a few times," but thought that "this is wrong." Another British politician, MP Boris Johnson, the country has repeatedly stated its bias to the "Easy" drug, which does not put him even run for the post of mayor of the British capital. "When policies boast such things, it is unequivocally bad. If they decided to tell that smoked marijuana, it must be sure to say what it is facing, and what problems they have experienced, using drugs, "said Mr. Polyatykin.

According to the experts, the main reason for promotion of the theme of marijuana among Western politicians are still uncertain attitude towards cannabis in the western society. On the one hand, scientists recognize this drug. On the other hand, per se smoking marijuana has never ends fatal except in cases where smokers suffered heart disease. Given what effect have public policy statements on the minds of ordinary people, they would be very worthwhile cautious. Indeed, the imprudent statements could easily tilt the balance in favor of smoking marijuana, for example.

"Such behavior western politicians characterizes them with a very disadvantageous hand-politically as well as morally," said in an interview with RBC daily Vice President, Russian Association of Political Science Igor Yakovlev.
