Israel decriminalized the use of marijuana

KIEV. March 5, UNN. The Israeli Cabinet approved the decriminalization of marijuana consumption, reports UNN with reference to BBC.

According to the proposal put forward by the ministries of public security and justice, the man caught in the use of marijuana in a public place, will have to pay a fine, and not to bear criminal responsibility.

The penalty will be about 270 dollars. When re-arrest it will be doubled. Third time offender will be under supervision of the authorities, but after a relatively short period will be completely free. And only in the case of the fourth “caught” will be prosecuted.

Funds received from fines will be forwarded to the education programme on drug use.

We will remind, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko proposed to legalize marijuana on the territory of Ukraine. A petition was on the website petitions to the President of Ukraine.
