Therefore, when I offer a product or service, I am obliged to accept payments that are legal tender in the country where I am located. When I am in Argentina, I cannot refuse payments in pesos; When I am in Venezuela, I will not be able to refuse payments in Bolivar; and when I`m in Spain, I won`t be able to say no to who will pay me in euros. Secondly, the proposal entitled «Amended by article 49 of the Political Constitution of Colombia and regulates the recreational use of cannabis», which «aims to allow the regularization of the use of cannabis for recreational purposes by adults in the facilities provided for by law». This is in order to «recognize and guarantee the fundamental rights to equality and free development of the personality». On the other hand, regulation means establishing rules that govern and guide the act and determine who can and cannot perform it, where, when and under what conditions. So regulation implies legalization, but legalization does not mean regulation. This Wednesday, June 13, the National Congress will vote on a bill aimed not only at decriminalization, but especially legalization. That is to say, it is by the State that the voluntary termination of pregnancy is guaranteed in this case. The confusion – which has led to fake news – is caused by ignorance of the definition of three concepts: legalization, regulation, and conversion to legal tender. Although they look similar, they convey three different ideas, which are explained in more detail below. Although the two words are still understood interchangeably, former Supreme Court Justice Aida Kemelmajer de Carlucci explained that decriminalization means removing a number from a country`s penal code.

On the other hand, legalization implies that the state must create the structures for this legal behavior to be implemented. Although regularization has «regularity» as its first meaning, in practice a distinction is made between regulation as «establishing a norm or rule» and regularization as «legalization» (a meaning that also appears in the academic dictionary and has no regular one). The Royal Spanish Academy offers some definitions of the verb «regular» that are useful for understanding the idea. It is explained in the dictionary that it is synonymous with «adaptation, regulation or order of something». It can also mean «setting up the operation of a system for specific purposes». After all, it can be «determining the rules or standards that someone or something must comply with.» Recently, a bill to legalize the use of recreational marijuana was passed in Colombia. This proposal was put forward by liberal representatives Juan Fernando Reyes Kuri and Juan Carlos Losada, who argued that «as a substance, it has no real effects on health and therefore should not be restricted by constitutional means.» Thus, legalizing something – it doesn`t matter – means that something that was previously forbidden (i.e. outside the law) is allowed. In case it concerns us here, Bitcoin, legalization means changing the positive legal system so that its use and / or possession is no longer prohibited.

Going back to marijuana, several countries have taken the above steps. For example, it is decriminalized in Argentina, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain; in North Korea, it is legalized; and in Uruguay, Canada and the United States, it is legalized. Are there any differences between regular and regularize words? Is it correct to say, «The government will regularize prostitution,» or should it be called «regulate»? I find your question very interesting. Each concept you have used means a different thing with a lot of legal and sociological significance. And these are concepts that need to be clarified because a lot of people are confused. For example, between decriminalization and legalization. It is not the same thing. When we talk about decriminalization, we mean that we no longer use the Penal Code as an instrument of social control to punish all crimes related to the cultivation, transportation and distribution of marijuana. However, that a behavior is not a crime does not mean that it is legal, it can be prosecuted by a law of administrative sanctions. The fines of the Civil Security Act, known as the «Gag Law»: This is a standard that punishes illegal behavior, but it does so with penalties, such as fines and closures of premises or loss of licenses, but not with imprisonment. In the debate the country has over the plan to regulate the practice that allows voluntary termination of pregnancy, many have taken the two concepts as synonyms. Legally, however, there are different things at stake.

So, since illegality is not allowed by law and therefore entails a sanction (economic or criminal); Legalization means that it is allowed by law. That way, even if something is legal, it doesn`t mean it can be done anytime and anywhere. Guillermo Cabanellas de Torres` Elementary Legal Dictionary defines legalization as, among other things, «the extension of positive legal norms to areas or activities that were previously excluded from the positive order.» On the other hand, legalizing means making all these behaviors legal. They cannot be punished for that. But the word legalize refers to authorizing a behavior, without saying how it should be done. Regulation means describing in a normative way how a behavior must be performed to be legal. Legalization, nothing more, is equated with a liberal regime in which the freedom of entrepreneurship minimizes state intervention. Given all this, the difference between making Bitcoin legal, legalizing it, and regulating it should be clear. These are three concepts that seem similar, but differ greatly in their implications.

Now, the debate is raging over whether it is better to legalize, regulate, decriminalize, or ban marijuana. Since each concept is different and its implementation affects the transport, consumption, sale or production of the product, UNIMINUTO Radio was tasked with differentiating the terms. Normalizing means no longer seeing cannabis as a virus, and the cannabis user as a social scum or a criminal. The media has worked hard to create this very negative image of marijuana by linking it to the fake heroin that wreaked havoc on Spanish streets in the eighties. Legalize before having to normalize the image of cannabis, eliminate all the negativities associated with it. This work has already been done, and this magazine has contributed enormously to it. Moreover, today`s parents are the stoners of yesteryear. Now it`s about convincing politicians to stop using marijuana as a political weapon.

There are countries where Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are banned. In America, this is the case in Bolivia. The case of China, where the exchange and mining of digital currencies is also widely reported by CriptoNoticias. In Colombia, possession does not entail criminal penalties, but fines, it is illegal to sell or distribute marijuana. The same thing is happening in the Central African Republic with Article 10 of the law presented by President Faustin-Archange Touadéra: «Every economic agent is obliged to accept cryptocurrencies as a means of payment.» On the contrary, the regulation implies that the state specifically sets the rules for the entire cycle of cannabis, from its production to its sale. Uruguay, for example, is heavily regulated. Instead, the Colorado regime is very liberal. Finally, one of the most important concepts, standardization. I define it as the opposite of stigma (and criminalization), almost its opposite. Therefore, no explicit permission from the state is required to use Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.

In any case, its use must be in the applicable legal system, that is, it must be for purposes that do not violate the law. In Portugal, possession is decriminalized, although its use remains illegal without medical authorization. In #PlenariaCámara proposal to archive a draft legislative act envisaged by the #ReglamentaciónCannabis was approved. pic.twitter.com/joTHSP3RH1 Society Legalization of Abortion Decriminalization aida kemelmajer de carlucci Let`s first see what it means to convert a currency – whatever it is – into legal tender in a country or jurisdiction. The Bank of Spain, for example, defines legal tender as the «official currency of a State in whose territory it enjoys the power of liberation». This means, according to the aforementioned entity, «that the citizens of this country are obliged to accept it as a means of payment of a debt». Helmets, bioromes, bullets, military uniforms or telegrams. The project under the direction of the archaeologist.

In some countries, this has constitutional status. This is the case, among others, of Argentina, whose constitution states in Article 19: At the end of the reading, you can more accurately distinguish the status of the cryptocurrency created by Satoshi Nakamoto in each country and determine whether the next news you read or hear on the subject is true or not. Conservative MP Wadith Manzur Imbett opposed the proposal, saying that «99% of cocaine addicts and heroin addicts have tried marijuana at some point in their lives and felt the need for something much stronger.» .
