====== The legal aid brochure Shit happens ======
===== About this edition =====
In 1996 we published the first Shit happens, 25 years later now this 14th edition of our legal aid brochure. During this time, hemp prosecutions became more and more absurd and increased almost from year to year: in the number of cases and in the amount of penalties. In recent years, for the first time, there has been a decrease. Mainly because the Federal Court has finally clarified that the penalty-free amount is really penalty-free. It's been a tough battle, but now the reports and fixed penalties have been decreasing for three years. Nevertheless, there are still more than 80 THC users per day: Shit happens!
Repression has not been able to eradicate the phenomenon of smoking pot. Instead, it creates daily injustices and a black market with many negative consequences for the users as well as for the whole society: a market worth billions without security, without quality control and without transparency.
===== Document, advise... =====
As long as cannabis use remains illegal, as long as every joint can be punished, as long as today's narcotics law with its harsh penalties continues to exist, we want to educate about hemp repression:
So that everyone gets an impression of how the legal provisions read and are then implemented by the police and public prosecutor - and what heights of fines and fees the prosecution of cannabis can reach. With this brochure, with our new A3 overview, with consultations and our collected information (e.g. summary penalty orders) on hanflegal.ch we can provide assistance with legal problems.
===== ...and change =====
But ultimately we would like to change the existing Swiss NarcA and achieve a sensible, legal handling of hemp. Internationally, there is a lot going on: Maybe this will provide impulses to end the miserable drug war in this country as well and to develop something more sensible. The legalization of hemp is feasible.
===== The ban still applies =====
Even if the pilot projects start in 2022 and medical hemp becomes more easily accessible: It's all still very limited. Most people will not be able to benefit from any of these innovations.
Today's NarcA with its comprehensive prohibitions will be in place for many years: The Federal Council has stated that it does not want to discuss further steps until 2031 - that is still a long way off. There it means to be extremely careful if one appreciates THC enjoyment. Because: **!Shit happens**
