As of this week, the possession of up to 10 grams of marijuana is no longer a criminal offense in Switzerland. Instead, the Swiss have decriminalized the possession of small amounts of weed, replacing possible jail time and a criminal record with a maximum fine of $110. The new law went into effect Tuesday.
Medical

CANNABIS CULTURE - Canadians seeking relief by accessing Health Canada's new med pot program won't be able to buy their medicine until late December. Despite all the media hype around the birthing of a private industry, there's actually nothing for sale.

CANNABIS CULTURE - It's that time of year again; time to bring in the harvest and prepare for the short days and long cold nights of winter. That includes the marijuana harvest and this weekend, October 4 - 6, at the 3rd-Annual Prairie Medicinal Harvest Cup in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where the Pot TV crew is taking over! Cannabis Culture editor Jeremiah Vandermeer, Matt Mernagh of The Mernahuana Zone, and I will be hosting this years event.
