It's basically legal up here anyway. We're allowed to carry a small amount for personal. Not sure what the limit is but they don't take it off you long as you're not being a dick. Might tell you to put it out if you're smoking in public but they honestly don't care.
Only get a £350 fine for a upto a few plants too. Pretty much regardless of size.
Know a few folk that have been caught with 1-2 x 20 ouncers. As long as there's no evidence of dealing it's just a basic fine. Who cares, id happily pay a lot more for a liscence.
Get caught with 20 x 1 ouncers though and you're fucked. So most of us just learn how to drop pounders from the get go. 2oz covers the fine and they usually offer you the gear back. Again, as long as there's no evidence of dealing. Get the jail for that obviously but can't win em all.
Sturgeon wants to legalise coke, heroine, absolutely everything for possession and although she's not pro home growing she's certainly not against it.
Would take the criminal element out of it and reduce a lot of cash flow for organised crime . Thus freeing up the coppers to worry about more important things.
so there's definately a very high chance of it once we go indipendant.
Which thanks to borris' handling of corona is getting a hell of a lot more support and we only needed 5% extra to begin with.
I'd be very surprised if it doesn't all happen over the next few years. Only time will tell though
I think they should do it like gun control. Pay a fee for a liscence, someone comes to inspect your set up, make sure it's safe and within legal limits. The liscence fee covers that so no tax money gets wasted on policing it.
Obviously id rather not have to pay but realistically I think that's about the most sensible option there is.
