NewsFlash: Cannabis Re-classified as Grade-B

Some interesting news is that Cannabis is now no longer a Class C drug, but a Class B. Which means being caught "supplying, using or dealing" is that much more serious. The BBC reports that:

Plans to introduce a "three strikes" system for cannabis possession start with a warning, then an £80 spot fine for a second offence.

Only when a third offence is committed, will the person be liable to arrest and prosecution.
So there you have it. Naturally it doesn't affect my life much at all, since the only thing you will ever have me smoking is kippers or bacon, or a wet bonfire in the back garden.

My advice, steer clear. For your health, because £80 is a lot of EMA, and finally - because no one wants a criminal record.
