After years of debate and failed attempts, the legalization of “shooting galleries” is on track. The National Assembly passed Tuesday night at the very lively exchange of prices between the left and the UMP for four hours, testing for six years drug consumption rooms at lower risk (SCMR). Article 9 of the bill to modernize the health system, the bearer of this measure was adopted by 50 votes against 24. The creation of one of these rooms in Paris, Gare du Nord, announced in 2013 by the first Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, was defeated by the State Council, seized by associations like Parents against drugs. The highest administrative court took the view that such a project was not consistent with the 1970 law on narcotics, including the text introducing the principle of total prohibition of drugs. He was then recommended to “enshrine in law the principle of this device for more legal guarantee”. Done since. It remains to MPs to continue consideration of this law before ruling on April 14, by a formal vote on the entire text. After which the senators will consider in turn.
