Sweden's justice chief left high and dry over spoof marijuana deaths story

Sweden's justice chief left high and dry over spoof marijuana deaths story
Ruling Conservative's Beatrice Ask posts spoof article on Colorado marijuana overdoses to support anti-drug claims


    Associated Press in Stockholm
    theguardian.com, Tuesday 7 January 2014 17.06 GMT


Sweden's justice minister is facing ridicule for posting a spoof article about marijuana-linked deaths on her Facebook page along with comments about her zero-tolerance against drugs.

Beatrice Ask of Sweden's ruling Conservative party posted a link to the Daily Currant's satire article, which jokingly – and erroneously – claimed that marijuana overdoses killed 37 people in Colorado on the first day of legalisation.

Above the link she wrote: "Stupid and sad. My first bill in the youth wing was called Outfight the Drugs! In this matter I haven't changed opinion at all."

The comment quickly spread in social media, triggering widespread criticism.

Ask's press officer Per Clareus said the minister was aware the article was fake and was trying to criticise the website for joking about such a serious matter, but was misunderstood.

"One might ask why tobacco is legal and marijuana not. A possible answer is suggested by the nature of the crop. Marijuana can be grown almost anywhere, with little difficulty. It might not be easily marketable by major corporations. Tobacco is quite another story." - Noam Chomsky
