LEGAL, le graphic novel, un futur possible de la légalisation en France.
Mais nous ne sommes pas si loin que ça de ce futur... car il existe en partie à Washington.
j'ai repris ce petit reportage pour vous montrer à quoi cela pourrait ressembler en VRAI.
Petit rappel : je ne fais pas l'apologie des drogues ou de leur légalisation. Je veux juste raconter de bonnes histoires en rapport avec des faits de société. Quand DAVID SIMON nous montre la dépénalisation de l'héroïne à BALTIMORE dans la saison 3 de THE WIRE, il ne veut pas que cela arrive, mais il fait tout pour nous montrer ce qui pourrait se passer.
C'est l'un des avantages qu'ont les artistes sur les politiques ou les documentaristes, ils peuvent aller plus loin pour nous montrer les excès de telle ou telle situation. C'est ce que nous avons fait avec LEGAL.

of a variety of recreational marijuana named “Space Needle” are shown
during packaging operations at Sea of Green Farms in Seattle. The

Washington state, worked all weekend to have supplies ready for stores
that were expected to be granted sale licenses on Monday, July 7, the

Terry Martin displays a tee shirt he's selling
celebrating legal marijuana in front of Cannabis City, as he waits with
others on the first day that sales of recreational pot is legal in the
state Tuesday, July 8, 2014, in Seattle. The symbols translate that
under one ounce of pot and over 21-years of age means that it's legal.

sell pot. (Photo by Elaine Thompson/AP Photo)

Bob Leeds, co-owner of Sea of Green Farms, shows
some of the marijuana he produces during a tour of his company's
facility in Seattle, Washington June 30, 2014. The state is poised on
Monday to become the second after Colorado to allow retail sales of
recreational marijuana to adults, under a heavily regulated and taxed
system that voters approved in November 2012. Stores could begin
operations as early as Tuesday, with up to 20 expected to open
statewide. Picture taken June 30, 2014. (Photo by Jason Redmond/Reuters)

Employees stock their shelves with 2-gram packages
of marijuana at Cannabis City during the first day of legal retail
marijuana sales in Seattle, Washington July 8, 2014. Washington became
the second U.S. state to allow the sale of marijuana for recreational
use on Tuesday, although shortages and high prices are likely to
accompany any euphoria. Shops started to open on Tuesday, a day after 25
outlets were issued licenses under a heavily regulated and taxed system
approved by voters in November 2012. (Photo by Jason Redmond/Reuters)

University wears a Washington state flag, as he waits with other

that reads “Drug War Ends Here”, outside Top Shelf Cannabis, Tuesday,
July 8, 2014, in Bellingham, Wash. on the first day of legal pot sales
in the state. Nelson says he is a long-time activist opposing drug laws,
particularly those targeting marijuana users, and he he feels the
legalization of marijuana will lead to less crowded jails and be less of
a burden on the court system. (Photo by Ted S. Warren/AP Photo)

the Cannabis City recreational marijuana shop in Seattle will be held at

federal guidelines, a U.S. Justice Department official said. (Photo by
