ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland's capital is examining a pilot scheme to allow the sale of cocaine for recreational use - a radical approach to the war on drugs that is not thought to have been tried elsewhere.
Switzerland's capital is examining a pilot scheme to allow the sale of cocaine for recreational use - a radical approach to the war on drugs that is not thought to have been tried elsewhere.
The drastic approach is not thought to have been considered anywhere else. In recent years, other European nations have scrapped prison sentences for drug-related offences.
In the US state of Oregon, having small amounts of cocaine has been allowed since 2021 and many European countries, including Spain, Italy and Portugal, no longer have prison sentences for possession of drugs including cocaine.
SWITZERLAND is considering what's believed to be a world-first scheme that would allow cocaine to be legally sold for recreational use in its capital.
