I see over the last twenty years legalisation in pockets round the world, modification of laws and penalties. I am therefore much more positive that it will continue in this direction. More countries will follow, albeit slowly. It's a marathon, not a sprint.Don’t hold your breath to see it happen elsewhere, organised crime has almost unlimited funds and politicians are cheap to buy as are newspaper reporters and editors, the banks make serious money laundering the proceeds, it will stay illegal in most places.
But I don't understand this in the Guardian:
"Under a softening of the law, however, the consumption and transport of a quantity of up to 3 grams will no longer be considered a criminal offence, but classified as misdemeanour.
Fines would be reduced to as little as €25 for possession of under 3 grams, down from €251 to €2,500 today."
So how legal have they actually made it in Luxembourg!
