The first chamber of the Federal Appeals Court has declared unconstitutional a 1989 law that allows authorities to initiate criminal proceedings against drug users, Spain’s EFE news agency reported Wednesday.

The court gave the ruling while acquitting two young people arrested for possession of ecstasy drugs at a music party in Buenos Aires in 2007.
