Depenalization of Cannabis in Mauritius

About the recent crackdown on activitists for the depenalization of cannabis in Mauritius, We have a clear opinion on the matter:

1. We are not for legalization of cannabis in Mauritius as up to now but we are for a debate on the matter.

2. We clearly are against any brutality, using of brutality against activists and the people of Mauritius is totally unacceptable.

3. We urge the government and all stakeholders to come forward with a civil debate on the matter.

4. While cultural reasons might be an important point, on such matter where health is concerned, a more scientific approach is a priority.

5. Advice of countries such as Netherlands should be sought in dealing with a depenalization of such drug.

6. Researches should be made on the impact of such depenalization on our soil

7. We are a sovereign state with a democratically elected government, on such cases where they have not been mandated to act, they should advice for a debate and national referendum to give their consent for such decision.

Here's our 5 cents.

Sabot dans la roue ! Car Shoe !

The car drivers should always respect the road traffic regulations else life would be difficult for others. The sabot is not a method of repression against car drivers but should be taken as a good way of keeping all roads safe and pleasant for everyone.

Everyone knows that it is forbidden to park your car anywhere, however some persons persist in parking anywhere they want to. There are some cases of emergency that could be understood but most of them are cases where the drivers are just lenient and don't bother about the laws until they caught.

Some need to be caught infringing the laws several times for them to start obeying the laws as the fines would be too high for them to pay. The drivers should therefore understand that the penalty is not a way of oppression on them but rather a way to keep some order. 

Have you ever had your car blocked like this ? :) tell us about your experience.
