Israel makes it official: Cannabis is not a crime
Israel's Cabinet decriminalized the recreational use of marijuana at its weekly meeting on Sunday, eliminating jail time until the fourth offense, in a move hailed by politicians from across the spectrum.
Under the new policy, first-time offenders caught using marijuana in public will be subject to a fine of approximately $250, but will not face criminal charges. The money will be used for drug rehabilitation and education. A second offense will be subject to a fine of approximately $500, while a third offense may require rehabilitation, education and a suspended driver's license. A fourth offense will be subject to prosecution and a possible prison term.
