Matthew Schweich, p\u0159edn\u00ed zast\u00e1nce legalizace konop\u00ed, po deseti letech v\u00fdznamn\u00e9ho p\u0159isp\u00edv\u00e1n\u00ed k legaliza\u010dn\u00edmu \u00fasil\u00ed na st\u00e1tn\u00ed \u00farovni opou\u0161t\u00ed Marijuana Policy Project (MPP). Schweich se v\u00fdznamn\u011b pod\u00edlel na kampan\u00edch v r\u016fzn\u00fdch st\u00e1tech, od Massachusetts po Utah, kde prosazoval opat\u0159en\u00ed t\u00fdkaj\u00edc\u00ed se l\u00e9\u010debn\u00e9ho i rekrea\u010dn\u00edho konop\u00ed. Pod jeho veden\u00edm se MPP stala v\u00fdznamnou silou p\u0159i prosazov\u00e1n\u00ed reformy konop\u00ed v cel\u00e9 zemi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Navzdory \u0161irok\u00e9 podpo\u0159e legalizace konop\u00ed ze strany ve\u0159ejnosti Schweich zd\u016fraz\u0148uje, \u017ee prosazov\u00e1n\u00ed t\u011bchto iniciativ prost\u0159ednictv\u00edm volebn\u00edch opat\u0159en\u00ed je slo\u017eit\u00e9. P\u0159esto\u017ee mnoho st\u00e1t\u016f konop\u00ed legalizovalo, zaznamenal mezi zast\u00e1nci znepokojiv\u00fd trend sebeuspokojen\u00ed. Poukazuje na to, \u017ee hybn\u00e1 s\u00edla ob\u010dan\u016f, kter\u00e1 kdysi podn\u011bcovala reformn\u00ed snahy, se zmen\u0161ila, co\u017e ohro\u017euje budouc\u00ed iniciativy, nebo\u0165 r\u016fzn\u00e9 st\u00e1ty se sna\u017e\u00ed omezit mo\u017enost voli\u010d\u016f prov\u00e1d\u011bt zm\u011bny prost\u0159ednictv\u00edm p\u0159\u00edm\u00e9 demokracie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vyj\u00e1d\u0159il obavy, \u017ee sni\u017euj\u00edc\u00ed se d\u016fraz na aktivismus na st\u00e1tn\u00ed \u00farovni by mohl v\u00e9st k dlouhodob\u00e9mu rozpojen\u00ed st\u00e1tn\u00ed a feder\u00e1ln\u00ed politiky v oblasti konop\u00ed. \"Mus\u00edme tento boj dokon\u010dit.

B\u011bhem sv\u00e9ho p\u016fsoben\u00ed v MPP zast\u00e1val Schweich funkci do\u010dasn\u00e9ho v\u00fdkonn\u00e9ho \u0159editele, kde hr\u00e1l kl\u00ed\u010dovou roli p\u0159i vyu\u017e\u00edv\u00e1n\u00ed institucion\u00e1ln\u00edch znalost\u00ed organizace pro p\u0159izp\u016fsoben\u00ed strategi\u00ed konopn\u00e9 politiky v r\u016fzn\u00fdch st\u00e1tech. Uv\u011bdomoval si, \u017ee je d\u016fle\u017eit\u00e9 p\u0159izp\u016fsobit \u00fasp\u011b\u0161n\u00e9 taktiky z p\u0159edchoz\u00edch kampan\u00ed a z\u00e1rove\u0148 respektovat m\u00edstn\u00ed n\u00e1lady a dynamiku. MPP p\u016fsob\u00ed ji\u017e 30 let a Schweich v\u011b\u0159\u00ed, \u017ee jej\u00ed zku\u0161enosti a p\u0159izp\u016fsobivost jsou z\u00e1sadn\u00ed pro udr\u017een\u00ed pokroku v hnut\u00ed za reformu konop\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u0159i pohledu do budoucna vyj\u00e1d\u0159il Schweich obavy, \u017ee sou\u010dasn\u00e9 politick\u00e9 klima by mohlo br\u00e1nit dal\u0161\u00edmu reformn\u00edmu \u00fasil\u00ed. Zat\u00edmco n\u011bkter\u00e9 st\u00e1ty dos\u00e1hly v\u00fdznamn\u00fdch \u00fasp\u011bch\u016f v legalizaci konop\u00ed, ob\u00e1v\u00e1 se, \u017ee zast\u00e1nci nemus\u00ed c\u00edtit nal\u00e9havost pokra\u010dovat v boji za reformu.

Ned\u00e1vn\u00e9 \u00fatoky na proces ob\u010dansk\u00e9 iniciativy v r\u016fzn\u00fdch st\u00e1tech tak\u00e9 Schweicha znepokojily. Na vlastn\u00ed o\u010di vid\u011bl, jak snahy omezit volebn\u00ed iniciativy ohro\u017euj\u00ed schopnost ob\u010dan\u016f p\u0159ij\u00edmat opat\u0159en\u00ed, na kter\u00e1 jejich volen\u00ed z\u00e1stupci nereaguj\u00ed. V Ji\u017en\u00ed Dakot\u011b bylo \u00fasp\u011b\u0161n\u00e9 opat\u0159en\u00ed na legalizaci konop\u00ed zru\u0161eno Nejvy\u0161\u0161\u00edm soudem st\u00e1tu, co\u017e poukazuje na zranitelnost ob\u010dansk\u00fdch iniciativ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schweich se domn\u00edv\u00e1, \u017ee tyto \u00fatoky na proces iniciativy odr\u00e1\u017eej\u00ed \u0161ir\u0161\u00ed trend sni\u017eov\u00e1n\u00ed respektu k v\u00fdsledk\u016fm voleb. Politici st\u00e1le \u010dast\u011bji zpochyb\u0148uj\u00ed platnost volebn\u00edch opat\u0159en\u00ed, \u010d\u00edm\u017e podkop\u00e1vaj\u00ed demokratickou z\u00e1sadu, \u017ee voli\u010di by m\u011bli m\u00edt kone\u010dn\u00e9 slovo v d\u016fle\u017eit\u00fdch ot\u00e1zk\u00e1ch. Poznamenal, \u017ee tento posun v postoj\u00edch se shoduje s obecnou eroz\u00ed politick\u00fdch norem ve Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vzhledem k tomu, \u017ee konopn\u00fd pr\u016fmysl \u010del\u00ed kontrol\u00e1m kv\u016fli nedostate\u010dn\u00e9 finan\u010dn\u00ed podpo\u0159e reformn\u00edch iniciativ, Schweich zd\u016fraznil v\u00fdzvy spojen\u00e9 s fundraisingem v tomto vyv\u00edjej\u00edc\u00edm se prost\u0159ed\u00ed.
