The law on Cannabis.
Anyone found in possession of cannabis could be liable to a fine or a prison sentence, cannabis is classed as a B category drug in the UK and is illegal.
Because of its availability and the way the drug is treated in other countries, there is a somewhat relaxed attitude towards it by many of those that take the drug, however, if you are found in possession, are growing the plant or intend to supply, the consequences to you could be life-changing.
You will have some degree of action taken against you irrespective of previous offences; these will range from a caution to imprisonment.
If you receive a caution (aka a warning) it is not a criminal conviction, but it could be used as evidence of character if you go to court for another crime.
Be aware that cautions can show on standard and enhanced criminal checks and may impact on a job application.
Intention to supply.
For anyone found with a large amount of cannabis with the intent to supply could face up to fourteen years in jail and a fine, even if you are buying the drug for your friends and will not benefit financially, the law will see this as an intent to supply.
The prosecution service are given directives for different offences
Driving whilst under the influence of cannabis.
Can result in driving disqualification, points on your licence and a fine, and will have an impact on your ability to insure and the cost of any premium.
In possession – first offence.
In the majority of cases, the police will issue a caution, there are instances where further action will be taken depending on the circumstances and environment the offence occurred.
In possession – second offence.
Once again there are circumstances that will change the action taken by the police but in the majority of cases the police will issue a penalty notice, providing they have evidence of possession or the person has admitted possession.
In possession – further offences.
The police will normally charge the person and proceed with prosecution.
Cannabis is not recognised as having any medical value and therefore any use medically will be treated as on offence, there are cannabis-based medical products that fall under a different drug category and can be prescribed, and are not illegal.
