the balls rolling now........ Sweden legalizes and regulates cannabis

The Swedish Parliament has approved a law which will regulate the growing, usage and trade of cannabis. This is according to the Health and Social Services of Sweden, Jonas Grönhög, who was quoted, â??We donâ??t want to make the same mistakes which the USA has done, we do not want to be prohibitionists because the war on drugs has been lost long ago. It is better to prevent marginalization of young people than jail them for soft drugs usage which are comparatively harmless. If we allow the sale of alcohol, there is no reason to ban the soft drugs no longer.â?�

Cannabis products are going to be available in the pharmacies in Sweden as non-prescription medicine since April 20 in 2012 and customers more than 18-year-old can buy 10 grams at once. Growing for personal usage will be tolerated up to 200 grams of dried marijuana and larger amounts stay illegal. It is likely that this will target the Police resources on more serious crime, especially on organized crime, drug trafficking and trafficking in human beings which have been increased for lack of the Police resources in recent years.

:jointsmile:Just love that! Nice reporting!:thumbsup: pr

hello. wonderful beginning to my day! since Sweden now rightly perceives cannabis as Americans perceive soft core pornography, perhaps Americans should have a war against soft core pornography. Americans are good at stupid wars. Sweden lights the way as a torch of sanity in a world of inhumanity. bravo Sweden! 4:20

I wish it were true, but apparently this is just a rumor that went too far.

One of the downsides to internet journalism is that not everybody, in fact very few, check all their facts.
