his defense proved to work against the delivery/distribute/supply charge:

"I need the scale to prevent dealers from ripping me off as a mere smoker, its a false assumption that I used it to sell marijuana" but he was lucky it was the last of his stash and he didnt have any baggies on him, so he only got charged with a possession, plus he had a tough lawyer who didnt even let him serve the time he would have served had he chosen any other lawyers

however, in this case we are talking about weed in excess of 2 oz which totally exceeds personal consumption amounts by any means in the eyes of law
Hi flyingimam, It can depend on where you live in England the more rural the area the harsher the police will deal with you.
Just having scales can be enough to convict you.
There are many excuses for possessing scales but the courts have heard them all, if they want to make an example of someone to deter the use of drugs they will, no doubt about it.
Two Oz is quite a lot to plead personal use, but some do get a lenient sentence the case can go either way.
