Post and the German doctors are both advocates of the therapeutic state. Both are also
determined not to learn from the Dutch experience.
Actually, the idea of distributing marijuana in pharmacies rather than in coffee-shops,
as the Dutch do, is not new.
It was proposed a few years ago for the Northwest German state of Schleswig-Holstein.
Frankly, I think that it is a bad idea.
As any visitor to a Dutch coffee shop will observe, marijuana is a social drug. Medical
marijuana should be sold in pharmacies. The other drugs should be sold in smart shops,
where someone can tell the buyer how to use them.)

GERMAN DOCTORS REJECT PLAN ON SOFT DRUGS

GERMAN DOCTORS REJECT PLAN ON SOFT DRUGS
BONN—Germany’s main doctors’ association rejected
a suggestion by the nation’s health minister to allow pharmacies to sell small
amounts of soft recreational drugs.
Andrea Fischer, health minister in the new center-left government, floated the
idea this week, saying it could keep casual users from moving to more dangerous substances
by "separating the markets for soft and hard drugs." Karsten Vilmar, head of the
German Chamber of Doctors, disagreed. He called the proposal "a false
liberalization" that would give a state stamp of approval to drug use and actually
lead more young people into addiction.
