Hey kosh
Decriminalisation comes to Britain
The above is a good summary though it doesn't mention growing explicitly I remember reading that cultivation had been bumped from 7 to 14 years too, though in practise I suspect you'd find very few who would even get a custodial sentance unless they were running 10 + plants and a long sentance unless you were on 50 + and obviously supplying.
The key is keeping plant numbers down and remaining only personal use.
No real improvement in the written law at all in my opinion, by inlarge though it serves one purpose, to show that public opinion has swung in our favour.
Anyhow, there it is lads, in a nutshell, that's our ultimate penalty. It's pretty scary but really just a reminder to stay
safe, and stay
personal.
As an aside, note the humourous closing paragraph...
No word yet from drug czar John Walters on whether it will be necessary to slow traffic between the US and Britain in order to keep this nation safe from the British weed menace.
Needless to mention...
FUCK YOU WALTERS, ASHCROFT, BUSH AND ALL YOUR
FUCKING CRONIES.
