“Authorities in Switzerland decriminalized possession of small amounts of cannabis earlier this month but a pot smokers group is already dispensing advice on how to avoid the penalty. In a German-language brochure it advises users to lie to police to avoid paying the fine. A person checked by police and found in possession of less than ten grams of cannabis ‘should not answer questions or lie’ about earlier consumption, the group says. If a person admits to smoking ‘even a single joint’ police are then required to issue the 100-franc fine. Someone who denies having smoked cannot be fined ‘and the piece of hash or little bag of weed’ they may be carrying cannot be confiscated.”
