INTERESTING BIT FROM ARGENTINEAN CONSTITUTION 

Previous Posts

By Neal Boortz

Not that the constitution really means anything in Argentina any more ... after all, President Cristina Fernandez Kirchner recently seized all private pension plans ... but I've read that Constitution of Argentina contains this little gem:

The private actions of men which in no way offend public order or morality, nor injure a third party, are only reserved to God and are exempted from the authority of judges. No inhabitant of the Nation shall be obliged to perform what the law does not demand nor deprived of what it does not prohibit."

So ... under this constitutional clause, the Supreme Court of Argentina has unanimously ruled to decriminalize the possession of drugs for purely personal consumption.

Do you have any idea how much we spend in this country every year enforcing our asinine drug prohibitions?
