Belgium: Cannabis law changed

In October 2004 the Belgium Court of Justice nullified the drug law of 2003, which legalised the possession of cannabis for private use by adults, because its wording was too imprecise. Now the government adapted the law. The new text says that people over 18 may possess 3 grams of marijuana or one plant for personal use. Cases of inconvenience (distribution, selling, dealing, using under 18, using in jail, near schools, in public places, in company of under-aged) are not tolerated. The law was put into practice on 1 February.

Directive of the Ministry of Justice of 31 January 2005

  • Im Oktober 2004 hob der belgische Gerichtshof das Drogengesetz von 2003 auf, das den Besitz von Cannabis zur persönlichen Verwendung durch Erwachsene legalisiert hatte, weil es zu ungenau formuliert war.
