Switzerland: Swiss May Legalize Cannabis

International Herald-Tribune (France)

Monday 12 Mar 2001

---

BERN Switzerland has taken a major step towards legalizing the
consumption of cannabis with the government proposing a draft law in
Parliament to decriminalize the drug.

The proposal to overhaul Switzerland's drugs law, unveiled last Friday,
could also allow the sale of cannabis under certain conditions.

Ruth Dreifuss, the Swiss minister for social affairs, told journalists
that outlawing cannabis completely had not brought the desired results.
Addictive substances other than cannabis - such as heroin, cocaine and
ecstasy - will remain illegal, but violators will not necessarily face
prosecution.
