Different laws of marijuana



While Urguay governament legalises production and sale of cannabis in December of 2013, Spainish governament introduce most harder sanctions with the new Citizen Safety Law ( 3.000-30.000 € for consum marijuana).

Netherland is knowed for the "coffee shops" where there sales cannabis but Colorado is the first place where cannabis will be legally produced and sold. Currently, Uruguay joins the list of countries that legallized it and similiar legislation wil come into efect in Washington and New York is considering it.

But Spain, which two decades ago had some of the most relaxed drug legislation in the world, is now in the opposite direction.
The director general of Spain's National Drugs Plan said that we are returning to concepts from the middle of the last century. And the secretary of the Union of Help Associations and Entities for Drugs Addicts said that it has been shown incontrovertibly that sanctions do not reduce drug consumption.

On the other hand, in the rest of Europe, other countries are also considering relaxing their approach to drugs, such as:
Switzerland that has already decriminalized possession for personal use.
Belgium that it is now permitted to carry up to three grams of marijuana, or have a plant at home for personal use.
Portugal that became the first country in Europe to decriminalize the use and possession of all illegal drugs, in 2011.

What is your opinion of legalises of cannabis? Do you think that is a wrong health law or a correct economic law?

GENDER INEQUALITY IN THE CINEMA

Swedish group meeting last month promoted a controversial initiative to measure the presence of women in films that projected. Later in festivals and theaters means world have contacted the Swedes to copy a test that aims to draw attention to gender inequality in the film industry.

Alison Bechdel test born in 1985, a U.S. comic book illustrator. In one of his cartoons, one of the characters says only see movies that appear at least two women talking to each other and where the conversation does not revolve around a man. These criteria, which were born as a joke, have become the three main questions of the test applied to the film.


The epicenter of this contagious initiative stands at Bio Rio, a small alternative theater room Stockholm. Bio Rio and four other rooms in the country classification and logo to indicate that he had passed the Bechdel test were invented. ThIs, in addition to measuring violence or sex, the viewer will receive information on whether the film is more or less sexist.

The test is based on three requirements:



  1.  In the movie at least two women in whose characters have screen name should appear.
  2. These women have to talk to each other.
  3. The topic of conversation can not be a man.



In hollywood has also performed the test given negative results. The salaries of actors are more big than the actresses, in the film industry there are fewer women working, there are more naked women than men...

Park Güell

Yesterday I visited Park Güell a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of Barcelona. Park Güell is created by Gaudi and his best friend Eusebi Güell in 19st century.


Five years ago I visited the park and the entry was free but this year it isn't.
The entry costs 8€

The price is very expensive because the number of visits for day is huge and the park is only a big garden and a few of beautiful architectural elements.
 I believe that the price should discrease, is  quite excesive.
Morethemore in this time of crisis the people from barcelona can't enjoy the garden complex because this expensive price.

24-0 Protest against the Wert's law, LOMCE

This morning three students of IES Alfred Ayza, including me, have gone at the protest againts the new education law. ONLY THREE STUDENTS.


This law affects all the students, however we have gone only three students, sounds pathetic...
Some teachers have gone like Maribel (valencian), Xavier(technology), Ximo (maths), Lola(french), Juanito (English) and the bad teacher (Physics and chemistry).

I hope protests around the country and the power of the people can end this law, which only seeks to privatize the education.
