Magnifisyncopathological: Gotta Love Europe

Gotta Love Europe

This story about an Italian court's decision that taking hashish on a school trip isn't a crime because the student in possession was only going to consume and share it with fellow students and a teacher is quite heartening. Apparently, possession of marijuana in Italy isn't a crime, while selling it is. The best part of this criminally-short story? A judge's quote.

"It could easily have been consumed during the many days of the trip," Corriere della Sera daily quoted the court ruling as saying.

As much as we berate the Continent for it's often irritating stances and words, it does offer instances of sanity. This is one of them. Of course, I'd wish they'd go further and decriminalize the free marketization of marijuana.
