cioran: Is anyone Argentine? This article says they decriminalized small amounts? Is it still illegal to distribute?

McDondo: I was about to write something mentioning this particular issue.
Distribution is still illegal, so I think the ruling was something among the lines of "let's shake up some media coverage".
I'll let you know how the whole thing develops, but sadly I know my country's way of manipulating public opinion :-(
Edit: Reading around some local papers, it seems that the ruling still needs to be approved by Congress in next week's session. After the debate and voting on this issue, it still needs to clear a last chamber to be approved as Law.
I'd guess that they'll flesh out some kind of project where distribution penalties will be revalued in this new law framing. As I said before, I'll keep you guys posted as soon as new info pops around!

cool. Can't wait for the response if it does not pass.
Basically government will be admitting that it can control morality and dictate what is wrong or right...
Sure - let's implement Sielle's solution and the first thing that I'll do is find him and drug him up so badly that he won't be able to speak for a week. Not that it will matter cause by then he'd be executed. Click. Bang.

K, thx. Distro interests me. I'm kind of curious how that works out.
I guess politicians are the same everywhere. We have the healthcare issue here in the papers every day. One side says "If you don't pass the law - you hate poor people." Other side says, "If you pass the law - you hate old people!"
*sighs* Either way, I'm sure I'll get screwed somehow. It beats the Michael Jackson coverage, though.
