IS THERE A SINGLE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHERE COCAINE IS LEGAL TO USE(EXCEPT IN MEDICAL PURPOSE)

I believe some South American countries allow the use of coca in small amounts, for example to chew or make tea out of. I don't think any countries allow the processed substance (anymore, that is). porges 00:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

O,thank you,I thought that is legal in Holland or Columbia.Also a friend of mine told me it was legal in England,and I even heard one politician from England that said he tryed it(but he probably did it while it was legal,or maybe he just broke the law?!).Anyway,thank youDzoni 12:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cocaine?, legal in Colombia? not even close! you can get yourself in some serious trouble down there for possession of cocaine.

Why is Canada's classification of Cocaine linked to American anti-narcotics laws. We do have our own ya know? i'll find the source myself.

I changed it just because the classification methods used by our two nations are fairly differant. Schedule 1 drugs in the U.S. include "lighter drugs" such as Cannibas and Hashish, while in Canada they include very addictive narcotics like Cocaine. And the reverse is true for Schedule 2 chategorization in both countries. Also are criminal law systems are pretty differant, so hopefully that will prevent any confusion.

Why is it illegal? Is there anyone who benefits from this status other than crime organisations and the government officials that they own? Wouldn't society as a whole be a lot better off(particularly South American countries) if it were legalised?

Netherlands

I consider http://www.lwl.org/LWL/Jugend/KoopSucht/nl/Repression/index_html#b a reliable source: It's "factum is een tweetalige website met feiten en cijfers rond de drugs- en afhankelijkheidsproblematiek, preventie en het drugsbeleid in Nederland en Duitsland." EN: "Factum is a two language site with facts and figures about the drug-problem and dealing-with-drug-problem, prevention and the drugspolicy in the Netherlands and Germany."

It's funded by the german government, which is clearly against drugs. And I'll explain a bit: "het opportuniteitsprinciepe" is a law that allows the public prosecutor to prosecute it finds important. They have internal guidelines that aim to prosecute drug trade and especially international drug trade. So, allthough it's technically possible to prosecute, in practice it wont happen if you posses up to 0.5gr or a 'one day dose' of cocaine.

Czech

What about Czech? I think recently law was changed, and now it is allowed to have some small (or big) amount of various drugs (like canabies, extasy, lsd, metaamphetamine), but do not know about cocaine. Any ideas and sources?
