LEGALIZING MARIJUANA

The Swiss cabinet has proposed making it legal to smoke marijuana, but said 
other drugs should remain illegal for now. The proposed revisions of the 
country's drug laws must now be submitted to Parliament. In 1998 the Swiss 
voted down legalizing all drug consumption, but cannabis is widely used in 
the country.
