This isn't just taking place in the US. It is a global movement.

One week from today, November 30,2008, the Swiss are voting on it nationally:

The Federal Constitution is amended as follows:

Article 105a (new) Hemp

1st The consumption of psychoactive substances of the hemp plant as well as their possession and purchase for their own are unpunished.

2nd The cultivation of hemp psychoaktivem for their own criminal is free.

3rd The federal government shall adopt rules on cultivation, production, import and export of and trafficking in psychotropic substances of the hemp plant.

4th The federal government will take reasonable steps to ensure that minors are adequately met. Advertising for psychoactive substances of the hemp plant as well as advertising for dealing with such substances are prohibited.

The drafting of necessary laws or regulations in detail is the responsibility of the Parliament. While this must be the above-mentioned article implement, but has some leeway here. For example, it is clear that where now no longer be allowed to smoke, no sure future hemp smoking.


Poles show the Swiss will pass this into law.
