THE LAW AROUND

CANNABIS

Cannabis is a Class B Drug, meaning that it is illegal to be found

carrying or using the drug (known as ‘possession’). It is also

illegal to give away or sell cannabis (known as ‘supply’), and is

considered a more serious offence.

Cannabis comes under the

discretionary warning scheme,

meaning a police officer can chose to

issue you with a street warning only.
