But in other countries it is only allowed to have it in your pocket. Holland, it's legal to buy and smoke up to five grams of cannabis a day if you are over 18 years old. However, the Netherlands tightened the rules in 2012, so it only applies to Dutchmen and not tourists. Also in Switzerland and Portugal, it has been decided to decriminalize cannabis for own consumption. In Portugal you can have up to 25 grams of cannabis in your pocket and still be on the right side of the law. And in Switzerland, parts of the country have chosen to allow the population to cultivate plants in the garden. However, no more than four plants, and it must be for own consumption only..

Patients suffering from multiple sclerosis, paraplegia, chronic pain and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting could become eligible for the programme, according to recommendations from the Danish Medicines Agency. The danish law for possession of drugs (weed, pot, marijuana, cannabis etc.) is still VERY STRICT. (However, the strict ruling for having THC in the blood while driving is losing up a little bit). Penalties for possession of weed/pot etc. is currently 2,000 kr in fine for possession of up to 9.9 grams. The fine increases by 50% the second time and 100% the third time. Prison punishment will occur when you hold more than 100 grams. The highest imprisonment sentence for the law on euphoric substances is 2 years. Section 191 of the Criminal Code on serious drug crimes has criminal sentences of up to 10 and 16 years in prison.... |
