Le cannabis en France

LanguaTalk.com
About this episode

In this episode, Gaelle talks about a controversial topic: cannabis. France is one of those paradoxical countries where people do consume quite a lot of it but where the law is strict and unforgiving. She will also explain the subtle difference between depenalisation and legalisation and tell you where French politicians stand on that specific point.
