LEGALIZED POT SMOKING PROPOSED

The cabinet proposed yesterday to make pot smoking legal but said other 
illicit drugs should remain outlawed for now. The government decided in 
principle to decriminalize cannabis consumption. It left open whether it 
would also eventually give a green light to growing and selling marijuana 
and hashish. It will present the proposed drug law revisions to parliament.
