COLOMBIA-MARIJUANA-DOSE

A man rolls a marijuana joint during a protest in defense of the non-criminalization of the so-called „personal dose” in Medellin, Antioquia Department, Colombia on March 26, 2009. Protestors demonstrated in three cities across Colombia against a proposed plan to recriminalize what is seen as a dose of narcotics for personal consumption – 1 gram of cocaine, 20 grams of marijuana or 5 grams of hash; which was originally decriminalized in 1994 to respect the right to free personality development, as stated in the Colombian constitution.
