great find, thats wierd though, i would of thought a lot more of the world would have marijuana legalized...... like africa and the middle east and india etc.
Peer pressure. I didn't think that any part of South America would have criminalized cannabis... +rep to the OP if I can
God damnit! If the liberals had won the last election that big huge country above the US would be light blue! No chance now with Dion.
Decriminilized means the punishment is not as harsh as in other states within the country. For example, I live in Ohio, and possession of less than 100 grams of marijauna is only a minor misdemeanor. 100 grams is a lot.
Nah, acording to norml its decriminalized, ever since i first checked like 2 years ago. I've never had a run in with the cops for weed, but acording to the website its like not even a misdemeanor to have less than 25 grams, like equal to a parking ticket or something.
people seem to get confused with the term "decriminalized" until they here a real defenition of it. its pretty simple. its still not legal, but its not a criminal offense, just like a parking ticket isnt a criminal offense. that means its just a fine (under a certain amount of weed, varying per place) and doesnt go on any criminal record.
have you guys noticed how blue south america already is? \o/ i never figured it out why they made it illegal in the first place, its absurd
You know what, now that you say that I realize you're right. Because if you get caught with less than an Oz of pot here you only get a citation, it isn't even a misdemeanor. shit, I'm glad I live in NY now. \t\t Incarceration \t Fine Possession 25 g or less (first offense) \tcivil citation \tnone \t$100 25 g or less (second offense) \tcivil citation \tnone \t$200 25 g or less (3rd offense) \tmisdemeanor \t5 days and/or fine \t$250 25 g to 2 oz* \tmisdemeanor \t3 months \t$500 2 to 8 oz \tclass A misdemeanor \t1 year and/or fine \t$1,000 8 to 16 oz (first felony) \tclass E felony \t1-4 years and/or fine, if second offense- 3-4 years (mandatory ½ jail sentence) \t$5,000 16 oz to 10 lbs (first felony) \tclass D felony \t1 - 15 years and/or fine, if 2nd offense mandatory ½ jail sentence \t$5,000 More than 10 lbs (first felony) \tclass C felony \t1 - 15 years and/or fine, if 2nd offense mandatory ½ jail sentence \t$5,000
