藍營打沈伯洋毒品論述翻車 柯文哲昔日也曾主張「吸毒者視為病人」

國民黨與蔣萬安翻出沈伯洋多年前文章指控其支持毒品遭灌爆,事實顯示柯文哲過去也曾提出將毒品成癮視為疾病、將成癮者視為病人的類似論述。

Quick Look

國民黨與蔣萬安近日翻出沈伯洋10多年前的毒品防治文章斷章取義並批評,引發網友不滿灌爆臉書。事實上,前台北市長柯文哲任內也曾多次提出將吸毒者視為病人而非犯人的類似論述,遭質疑藍白陣營雙重標準。

國民黨翻出民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋10多年前寫的毒品防治文章斷章取義,指控沈伯洋「縱容吸毒」、「支持毒品」,尋求連任的台北市長蔣萬安跟上車,在臉書發文抨擊結果大翻車,遭數十萬則留言灌爆。事實上,民眾黨創黨主席、前台北市長柯文哲在任時也曾提出與沈伯洋類似的論述,藍白現在卻因說的人不同就胡亂潑髒水,讓外界看了直搖頭。

藍營近日翻出沈伯洋2014年在《想想論壇》發表的毒品防治文章,沈伯洋在文中以犯罪學視角討論毒品政策,指出英文中的「Drugs」同時包含了藥品與毒品,呼籲大眾打破將成癮者單純視為「罪犯」的刻板印象,主張應將毒品成癮視為一種「疾病」,將成癮者視為需要醫療協助的「病人」,結果被藍營扭曲成沈伯洋主張「毒品和藥品可以劃上等號」,企圖淡化毒品危害。

其實柯文哲2015年8月4日也提出類似的概念,當時他被記者問到如何處理酒駕和毒品問題,他說自己與台北市衛生局和社會局討論後,有了「新想法」,那就是要把毒癮跟酒癮當作病人來處理,而不是犯人,未來要將醫療小組帶進監獄,輔導因毒癮、酒癮入獄坐監的人。

而且他也不只說過一次,2018年6月20日,台北市政府召開「北極星反毒計畫暨台北市毒品危害防制中心」記者會,柯文哲在會上呼籲大眾:「大家要開始改變觀念,把吸毒的人當成病人,而不是犯人。製毒、販毒當然還是要當成犯人來處理,但是如果把吸毒的人當成犯人的話,事實上,長期下來的處理效果不好。觀念要改變,這樣從預防到處理,會比較容易達到目標,然後再從上游到下游,嚴格取締製毒、販毒。」

同年8月27日,柯文哲出席酒駕醫療介入發表記者會,重申「不能把酒癮跟藥癮當作犯人,要當作病人來處理,長期而言效果會比較好」。上述內容在台北市政府官網都能夠找到新聞稿。

Open Questions

  • 藍白陣營對此爭議後續是否有進一步回應?

Shen Boyang's drug policy sparks debate. Prosecutor: The need for addiction treatment must be assessed when handling cases

DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's talk about drug policy raised questions from the Kuomintang and Chiang Wanan. Prosecutors who have handled drug cases pointed out that prosecution and sentencing may not eliminate drug addiction. In addition to pursuing criminal responsibility, handling cases must also assess addiction recovery needs and treatment to avoid falling into a vicious cycle of drug abuse and imprisonment.
