OMFG its nearly motherfucking legal

[mrdevious]

so what are you talking about? it's not pretty much legal, you just won't get charged with intent to distribute, it still says nothing about changes in charges of posession.


and the cannabis.com headline doesn't really make sense as far as I can see:

"Drug users caught with enough cannabis to make more than 500 joints will be able to claim that it is for personal use".... so what you can posess infinite amounts? and then it goes off on how they're making the laws stricter...

[Nochowderforyou]

That doesn't mean it's legal man, not one bit.

That just means you won't get charged, but the authorities will still take away your pot...2 joints or 200 joints. It's to keep harmless marijuana smokers out of overcrowded prisons and to put the real criminals behind bars...but yes, it is def. a step forward.

No. If get caught with under these proposed amounts then yes, it will be considered as for your personal use, but all that means is that you won't be charged with intent to supply.

This guy just answered all your questions... Lol

You're getting it way wrong, man.. I mean shit, the first line reads;

"Anyone caught carrying up to 500 cannabis joints is likely to escape trafficking charges".

Did you read that? First of all it says is likely to, which doesn't mean they necessarily will. Secondly, it only says they may escape trafficking charges.

I watched the guy who's basically in charge of this stuff on TV today. Basically there is no legal definition of intent to supply in British law. This new set of laws will change that. From now on if anybody is caught with less than these amounts they MIGHT only get charged with possession, but they COULD still get charged with intent to supply. If you're caught with more than this amount then you will DEFINATELY be charged with intent to supply.

Think about what the title of your thread says and think about the truth of what's actually happening, and you might even learn something about yourself, I dunno...

its a step in the right direction nonetheless :dance:

The Daily Mail article says that if you have 17oz then you wont get it taken off you but if they can prove that you are dealing then your still screwed. I am not a dealer so I am laughing.

Stop being negative a few months ago they were all for regrading to Class B so this must be a step in the right direction.

Euphoric, I fucking love you, man.

[xNoa]

first thing that stuck out to me reading the article "Anyone caught with any amount of the drug will face arrest under the new strategy. "

this is a step backward not foward, currently if u get caught with personal amounts then ur almost certainly let off (and that personal amount can stretch relatively far)

[yAwn]

Thank you, xNoa! This isn't a step forward at all. It's just more regulation.

yyyyyyyayay :dance:
