legalize the drug consumption in Argentina the International – (10:00 hrs.)<\/p>\n

A court of Buenos Aires annuls thousands of cases in proceedings of defendant to have marijuana<\/p>\n

They consider that consuming they are the factor of a chain that finishes in the narcotics trafficker The Financier in line Buenos Aires, 23 of April.<\/p>\n

A federal court of Buenos Aires legalizeed the individual drug consumption in the Argentine capital, with which they would be annulled thousand of cases in proceedings of people accused to have small amounts of marijuana, according to the failure that publishes the press of Buenos Aires today.<\/p>\n

The failure indicates that Room 1 of Federal Camera of Appeals declared the article unconstitutionality of the law that punishes the drug users, promulgated in 1989.<\/p>\n

The questioned norm punishes the consumers to consider that they are the base of a chain that finishes in the narcotics trafficker. But the court considered that such single presumption generated “an avalanche of files destined to consumers without managing to ascend in the links of the chain of the drug traffic”.<\/p>\n

The failure was applied to the case of two young people stopped by the Police by cigarette possession of marijuana and tablets of \u00e9xtasis when they went to a celebration of electronic music in Buenos Aires, in May of 2007.<\/p>\n

Although the question must be dissolved in the Supreme Court of Justice, the failure of the court of Buenos Aires is in line with the policy of the Government of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner in reforming the laws to legalize the drug consumption.<\/p>\n

During the 51 Extraordinary Session of the Economic and Social Council of the UN, celebrated the month last in Vienna, Argentine minister of Justice and Seguridad, An\u00edbal Fernandez, noted the “absolute failure” of the policy to punish the drug users.<\/p>\n

Of this form, and for the first time in 30 years, Argentina the consumer left his adhesion to the American position to persecute so much to the drug dealer like a. (With EFE\/MVC information)<\/p>\n

At last, the prohibition era is starting to disintegrate.<\/p>\n

How long will it be before other countries realize the emperor has no clothes, and abandon this absurd edict from the evil empire?<\/p>\n

The americans have more people in prison (2006)<\/a> than China (2008)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That culture, where breasts cannot be shown on television, has exported its neanderthal ideas of justice and how to deal with medical and social ills to countries that to their eternal shame, simply obeyed like sheep. The fact of the matter is, Marijuana should never have been made illegal, just as alcohol should never have been made illegal, and the same goes for all other ‘drugs’. The countries with sensible approaches to ‘drug’ taking were the most peaceful, most civilized countries, with very small prison populations and low crime rates. This evidence was ignored throughout the twentieth century and the result, in america’s case, is an exploding prison population, one of the most violent countries on earth, and a culture of criminality that stretches from the drug dealer in the street right up to the CIA<\/a><\/p>\n

Once again, this demonstrates how important an independent judiciary is to the workings of a free country. Intelligent judges with a free hand can interpret the law correctly. In a country where the judiciary is broken or corrupt or puritanical or insane, like the the USA, the country can be destroyed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
