| Cannabis Law: January 29th 2004 (22 February 2004) |
| Controversy surrounds the Government’s decision to reclassify Cannabis from a class B to a class C drug on 29th January 2004. Cannabis will be classed alongside anabolic steroids and prescription antibiotics rather than amphetamines as it presently is, while police will make fewer arrests for the possession of small amounts of the drug. What is the law now? Cannabis is a Class B drug. Possession of cannabis is a criminal offence. The maximum sentence for possession is five years. After the law has changed on 29th January will cannabis still be illegal? Yes. It will still be a criminal offence to possess cannabis in any form. What are the new police guidelines? Police have new guidelines that mean that most people who are stopped will have the drug confiscated and be given a warning. Officers should only arrest repeat offenders or those smoking in public places. |
