Argentina ponders decriminalizing possession
Argentinean judges continue to take steps toward decriminalize drug possession after federal courts judges threw out drug possession charges in April.
Last week, a group of judges enforced that opinion, ruling on a case of a young man arrested for marijuana possession.
The judges said criminalization will apply "where the possession of narcotics for personal consumption represents a danger for the public health of others."
Argentina's minister of justice, security and health, Anibal Fernandez, said the country's drug laws are a "catastrophe."
