BRUSSELS - Belgium is set to permit the use of cannabis, following the
passing of the country's new drugs law Thursday.

Cannabis users will be allowed to have the drug for personal use,
providing they possess no more than 5 grams. They are allowed to
cultivate one cannabis plant.

However, smoking of cannabis in public and in the presence of minors
remains illegal.

Users who cause problems for neighbours will face prosecution.

Parliament approved the new drugs law by 75 to 40 votes, with four
abstentions.
