Cannabis Laws in South America
South American cannabis laws vary from place to place. Considering how many people and countries are involved this is not surprising. Here is a summary.
Argentina: Marijuana is legal in small amounts and for personal usage. It is also legal to consume on private property and private locations. Consumption in public is tolerated. Medicinal marijuana use is accepted but not legal, except in private locations. Large scale cultivation, sale and transport is illegal and punishable by laws.
Bolivia: Cannabis use and possession is against the law. Possession of large amounts results in long prison terms. Meanwhile, coca use is widely accepted.
Brazil: Marijuana possession is De-penalized in Brazil if it is for personal use. This is also true for cultivation for personal use. The law requires that anyone caught with personal use quantities may have to be warned, take drug education, or do community service.
Chile: Medical marijuana is legal and not regulated. Consumption and possession on private property is, like Argentina, legal. Consumption by groups is illegal. Cultivation is only legal with a permit.
Colombia: Sale and cultivation of marijuana is illegal. Possession of a small amount for personal use is permitted. Enforcement of drug laws is apparently lax in regards to marijuana.
Ecuador: It is legal to possess marijuana as long as you don't exceed two cigarettes. Cultivation of cannabis plants is illegal. Sale of marijuana is illegal as well.
Paraguay: For one of the largest pot producers in the world cannabis is still illegal in Paraguay. The vast majority of Paraguayan pot is exported. Possession of minimal amounts is tolerated.
Venezuela: Possession of cannabis, even in small amounts, can result in incarceration. The court also forces drug treatment on offenders. Sale and cultivation are strictly punished. Judges tend to dismiss possession of small amounts.
Marijuana laws vary across the continent. Trafficking and cultivation for sale is usually illegal. Medicinal use is sometimes permitted. Enforcement varies as well, with some laws being virtually ignored in practice.
