​ MP Janusz Palikot has announced he plans to share a joint in the Parliament building on Friday as part of a campaign to legalize marijuana in Poland. The ultra-liberal Palikot’s Movement Party will be using civil disobedience to test laws introduced in December that gave prosecutors a choice on whether to charge individuals who are found to be in possession of “soft drugs” for personal use, reports TheNews.pl MP Janusz Palikot has announced he plans to share a joint in the Parliament building on Friday as part of a campaign to legalize marijuana in Poland.

“We want to invite representatives of the Free Hemp Society, a group that we are on friendly terms with, to smoke a joint in this room, to see whether the law that already decriminalized [personal use]really did do so; or whether there is a need for the amendment that we are presenting on Friday,” Palikot said.
