It has always been legal 'cause it wasn't illegal before. So now they made a law to allow it. Not a single thing will change.

The story said it used to be up to each judge if/how they would punish people with small amounts.

Yeah, that's kinda..........odd. On our legal system there's something called "precedent", so if one magister or ministry make a decision, then judges can base their decisions on that, kinda like a law.

Yeah we have the same sort of thing...if someone gets off with a crime because of a certain defense or they get a certain punishment in future cases which are similar the lawyers will bring up the past case to try to argue their client should get the same thing.

The Supreme Court calls that "stare decisis."

Jurisprudencia here, perhaps the english term would be jurisprudence.

I know, but that's their term for staying with what has already been decided.

Sure it will. It will set knees to jerking all over the US.
