Canadian legislation to decriminalize marijuana possession
TOR2003060903-TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, June 9 (UPI) -- Legislation was recently introduced in Canada proposing to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana possession. A man's hand can hold about 10 grams of marijuana. The newly introduced bill would remove criminal liability from anyone in possession of up to 15 grams but the offense would still be punishable by fines. rlw/cc/Christine Chew UPI
