Switzerland Decriminalizes Marijuana Possession
    #18932763 - 10/04/13 07:13 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

by Phillip Smith, October 03, 2013, 03:47pm

As of this week, the possession of up to 10 grams of marijuana is no longer a criminal offense in Switzerland. Instead, the Swiss have decriminalized the possession of small amounts of weed, replacing possible jail time and a criminal record with a maximum fine of $110. The new law went into effect Tuesday.

The change in the Swiss drug law brings the country in line with other European countries that have either formally or effectively decriminalized pot possession. It also brings uniformity within Switzerland, where previously, some cantons had turned a blind eye to marijuana offenses while others came down hard on offenders.

The change will also relieve pressure on Swiss police and courts. The country has dealt with 30,000 or so marijuana charges each year, a number that should decline dramatically under the new law.

Cultivation and distribution of marijuana remain criminal offenses, as does possession of more than 10 grams. The new law also increases penalties for sale to minors.

The country of some eight million people is thought to have up to 500,000 marijuana users.

Lol i highly doubt that, but it would be nice.  What makes you think this?

Man between this and the handouts for $2500 a month to all citizens, it sure looks like a great place to be a legal citizen.  I hear it can be rather unfriendly though.

No... do you live here? I've lived all up and down left and right of this state. If anything it will be Bible thumpers that will hold us back.

We have a very famous attorney family The Morgan's who are fighting for it. We have a great chance of it becoming a  medi state. (I use medically anyway for colitis NOS)

Though I believe legalization will take much longer sadly.

Lol nah its more progressive now more than ever. Some ways worse then others, but I'm sure in 2014 we will have medi....I hope anyway.  I really really really hope. Otherwise I'm just going to be growing auto flowers outdoors.  With the economy I can't afford weed anymore, but at least I'm scripted marinol for my pain and they feel exactly the same anyway.

Your thinking of that the wrong way. The shit is still legal :rolleyes: learn the law before you spout bullshit.  Its the residue that is not a misdemeanor anymore.  So many people from other states always bring this "point" up though it means nothing.  Crack pipes and Meth pipes and H residue is still a misdemeanor though.

Residue has always been illegal in florida.  The bill was useless, it didnt do anything.  You still have to say "tobbaco water pipe" in any store.

And as for the swiss, look up the new law there granting a monthly salary to each citizen.  I have seen it all over the news.

No the residue is now a felony not a misdemeanor that's the only difference.
