About the Book

Criminal law prohibition of cannabis is based on and legitimized by assumptions of alienness to our culture and considerable harm caused by the substance: firstly harm for individual health, and secondly dangers for global society by spreading addiction and lethargy, by inducing intoxicated driving and use of even more dangerous drugs, by causing powerful and violent organized crime. All these postulated dangers have been proven unsubstantiated and wrong. They are politically functional constructs and welltailored myths for legitimizing and mystifying a hidden curriculum of vested economical interests and increased state control over deviant lifestyles and supposedly dangerous classes. The twenty-two articles of the reader encompass the entire realm of empirical social and legal sciences capable of deconstructing those myths. Die strafrechtliche Cannabis-Prohibition wird mit der Annahme der Kulturfremdheit und erheblicher Gefaehrlichkeit der Substanz begruendet und legitimiert: Behauptet werden erstens die Schaedigung der Gesundheit des Einzelnen und des Volkes und zweitens erhebliche Gefahren fuer die Weltgesellschaft durch die Ausbreitung von Sucht und Lethargie, durch Teilnahme am Strassenverkehr in berauschtem Zustand, durch den Umstieg auf noch gefaehrlichere Drogen und durch die Verursachung der immer maechtigeren und zerstoererischen Organisierten Kriminalitaet. All diese Schadensbehauptungen sind wissenschaftlich widerlegt und falsch. Es handelt sich dabei um politisch funktionale Konstrukte und Mythen, um untergruendigen oekonomischen Interessen und intensivierten Kontrollbeduerfnissen des Staates im Hinblick auf abweichende Lebensstile und gefaehrliche Klassen in der Gesellschaft den Weg zu bahnen. Die zweiundzwanzig in dem Reader versammelten Aufsaetze umfassen das gesamte Spektrum empirischer Sozialwissenschaft und normativer Rechtswissenschaft und ermoeglichen die Dekonstruktion solcher Mythen.
