The Norwegian Green Party is calling for "state-controlled production and sale of cannabis," as well as the decriminalization of possession for all drugs. The call comes as the party releases its platform ahead of elections set for September.
"Current policies are clearly not working," the party's spokesperson Hanna Marcussen, told Aftenposten newspaper. "Today marijuana is sold openly along the Aker River in Oslo without anyone managing to restrict access. It is time that someone takes on this difficult debate."
Marcussen also said the Greens do not view hard drug users as criminals and that decriminalizing drug possession would improve public health.
"We want to decriminalize the use of heavier drugs. This is a health problem," Marcussen said. "Compared with other countries, we have a particularly high number of fatal overdoses due to hard drugs."
The proposals resemble those of Copenhagen mayor Frank Jensen, who has long pushed for state-run cannabis production, and they come just a day after Uruguay's lower chamber of parliament approved a bill that would make the South American nation the first country in the world to legalize marijuana markets, also with state controls. That measure still awaits a vote in the country's upper chamber.
Norway Cannabis
Norway would need to develop an outdoor strain . A spike in electricity use would be counter- productive except for the electric company . Solar ? Not enough sun . LED ? That would work indoors . Just let folk`s grow their own indoors and educate them on costs and sustainability . Aquaculture ? Maybe they would just rather import ?

As a teacher, it is your
As a teacher, it is your responsibility to guide students to the best of your ability. That said, there is equal responsibility on behalf of your students to WANT to learn and benefit themselves.
You can't force kids to be responsible adults, you can only do so much. There were kids in my high school that would show up drunk to class sometimes. No amount of legislation will ever change something like that.
