“A revision of the country’s drug laws, set to take effect on October 1st, will allow police officers to issue 100-franc ($105) tickets for people caught smoking a joint. On-the-spot fines will replace a court appearance in cases of cannabis possession involving amounts of 10 grams or less. The federal government issued a reminder of the planned change on Friday. It follows amendments to drug laws adopted by the senate and the house of representatives (national council) on September 28th 2012. If the person ticketed agrees to pay the fine, he or she can avoid appearing in court.”
