A garden without drugs

Rospotrebnadzor included parsley curly in the list of plants containing potent narcotic and toxic substances, RIA Novosti reports. The resolution of the sanitary department indicates that not all the parsley is included in the list, but only its fruits from which can prepare oil dangerous to human health.

Together with Parsley Kurchava, 17 more representatives of the flora, including Bunium Persian, - popular spices, also known as Zira, replenished the list of dangerous plants. All parts of the plant are included in the list.

The blogosphere reports that the relevant changes were derived on April 11. "Since April 11, the Goskomduri fighters to seize the cabinet with spices have every right to burst into every normal kitchen. The main danger is Persian Bunium, in the expansion of Zira. The same spice, without which most Indian and Central Asian cuisine is impossible. See good, fragrant pilaf - all the dough, they trade in drugs," the FaceBook user writes Alexander Gavrilov.

A source in the Federal Penitentiary Service told Rosbalt that the list of plants and drugs containing narcotic substances is expanding periodically, but the specialist found it difficult to say which punishment can expect a grandmother who grows such prohibited parsley in her country area. "This is like with marijuana, for example. If it is proved that it is grown for a specific purpose (for the manufacture and distribution of drugs), then the appropriate responsibility comes: administrative or criminal," the source said. “I don’t think that the situation will be so critical that parsley will be arranged,” the FSKN employee suggested.

Human rights activists believe that this course of the head of Rospotrebnadzor Gennady Onishchenko is the initiative of the FSKN, whose employees will now be able to arrange inspections to ordinary owners of country gardens. “In normal condition, such a person will not come up with. Undoubtedly, this is the initiative of the FSKN,” the executive director of the “For Human Rights” movement Lev Ponomarev told the Frances.ru. “There are too many people in the FSKN. They all have nothing to do there, and they don’t want to catch those who organize and roof large drug streams or cannot. The poppy head has long been trying to plant pensioners. Now there will be parsley bushes should be dissolved,” said Ponomarev.

A coin swan, an arthilizer, a wrinkle multicolor, colocint and two types of calamus and swamp and swamp, also got into the list of prohibited plants.

In total, at the moment, this list is 352 species of plants.

On Thursday, the media published a report by the UN Global Commission on Drug Policy, which stated the failure of the fight against drugs and called on countries to take new measures to combat drugs, in particular, experiments with the legalization of certain types of narcotic substances, for example, drug derivatives. The commission that has prepared a report, among other things, includes former high-ranking representatives of the UN, for example, the former Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, Prime Minister of Greece, former presidents of Switzerland, Mexico, Colombia and Brazil.

The head of the FSKN Viktor Ivanov called the report of the commission "PR-action" on drug promotion. "We are dealing with a global PR action. This campaign is directly or indirectly connected with those giant income, which are estimated at about $ 800 billion," said the director of the FSKN.
