In case you missed it, Argentina's Supreme Court recently decriminalized the small-scale use of marijuana, opening the way for a shift in the country's drug-fighting policies to focus on traffickers instead of users.
The high court ruled it unconstitutional to prosecute cases involving the private use of marijuana. "Behavior in private is legal, as long as it doesn't constitute clear danger," Supreme Court President Ricardo Lorenzetti said. "The state cannot establish morality."
Elsewhere in Latin America, Colombia and Mexico have already decriminalized the possession of small amounts of drugs. Brazil and Ecuador are looking at an initiative to legalize some drug use.
