After 10 years of the most harsh drug law in Europe, dragging people possessing any amount of any drugs, to the courts, Polish drug policy made a small step forward.

Last week Polish president Bronislaw Komorowski signed the new bill that gives the prosecutors option to discontinue the case is it's about small quantities of drug for personal use.

In 2010 about 40,000 people were arrested for this kind of offences. We are hoping that this bill will reduce this number by fifty percent.

New law comes to the power in six months.
