Prohibition’s hangover in Bihar By Roshan Kishore, Abhishek Jha and Sreedev Krishnakumar It is now almost 10 years since Nitish Kumar imposed prohibition in Bihar. Its stated objectives were to prevent crime, abuse of women by alcoholic male family members, and divert money spent on alcohol towards more useful purposes. Nitish Kumar was in alliance with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) when he imposed prohibition and has changed sides thrice since, allying with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2017, jumping ship to join hands with the RJD in 2022, and going back to the BJP again in 2024.

BKA-Statistik 2022 Insgesamt 264.948 konsumnahe Delikte, wovon 174.876 nur Cannabis betreffen. Prohibition schadet den Konsumenten, den Familien, der Gesellschaft insgesamt und auch der Umwelt. Letztendlich kann man nur mit Regulierung unnötige Schäden vermeiden und das Unrecht beenden.

Ein entschärftes #CanG wäre der erste Schritt in die richtige Richtung, aber es müssen zügig weitere folgen.

#Prohibtion ist Unrecht.
