Cannabis use in Israel is no longer a crime

In Israel, 1 April came into force a law that partially decriminalizes the use of marijuana, writes Rtvi.

Under the new rules, keeping a small amount of marijuana at home will not be considered an administrative or criminal offense. For the use of marijuana in a public place from now on they will issue a fine. For the first time, the violator is threatened with a fine of one thousand shekels ($ 276), for the second offense committed within five years - two thousand shekels ($ 552). Public use of marijuana for the third time in seven years will lead to criminal prosecution. It can be avoided by paying a higher fine or by voluntarily giving up permission to carry a weapon or driver’s license.

An exception is made for military personnel, minors and prisoners. In these cases, violators face criminal prosecution.

The law does not specify how much of the drug meets the definition of "for personal use." In each case, the police will decide. As the Times Of Israel notes, before that, the authorities were talking about 15 grams. In any case (both at home and in a public place), the found drug will be confiscated.

Amendments back in 2017, the Knesset approved. Critics of the bill from among those who advocate full legalization, say that the new rules will lead to a sharp increase in the number of fines. They note that among the police, there is a tacit rule not to initiate proceedings against those who are caught using marijuana for the first time.
