Junkyard, I think you might be surprised what the law thinks about Cannabis, even to the extent that its the only Class B drug with its own special proceedures:
Rather than bore you with the Drugscope pages long winded version I’ll give you the Dutch version:
Caught once: You’ve been a naughty boy, throw it away
Caught twice: You’ve been a naughty boy again, throw it away again
Caught a 3rd time: Might treat you to a drive down the cop shop. Once down there and having stewed for a while in the cells, they’ll let you go with a stern word….or Police Caution as they like to call it
Caught a 4th time: Same as above, but this time Segeant Noddy reckons you need teaching a lesson and says you’ll go to court. They’ll let you go and warn of a court date. CPS get hold of it and tell Sergeant Noddy to stop wasting his time.
You get the picture, unless we are talking about serious quantities then they police really do nothing about it. Its not worth their time to go chasing a few smokers when there are much more serious criminal activity going on around them. Litter dropping for example!
