View from the Dolman Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 41 minutes ago, Riaz said: Arrested for having cannabis - what a joke Nope, not arrested for "having" it at all. The actual truth: "A man has been arrested by National Crime Agency officers on suspicion of orchestrating the attempted importation of cannabis worth £600,000 through Stansted Airport.... It follows the arrest of two women aged 28 and 32 at Stansted on 2 September, after Border Force officers detected around 60 kilos of the drug in two suitcases which had arrived on a flight from Bangkok." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Hankey Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Assuming it is only the cannabis that they have him on & there are no ties they can pinpoint to a further crime organisation, how long would he be looking at? Cannabis is a class B (which i agree is mental & should be looking towards legalisation, as the dealing side of it is what leads to the violence more than the actual people who consume it). I assume they will be trying to get him to “co-operate” as there are bound to be bigger fish at play based on the size of the import, he may potentially get a lenient sentence if he does help their investigation.

RedRoss Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Alcohol in my opinion is far worse than cannabis and is legal. However that has no bearing on this case. The legality/effects of cannabis conversation is just not valid in any way. Firstly due to the fact it's illegal currently in this country whether there's a larger discussion to be had or not. Same reason you'd think twice about showing public displays of affection in middle eastern countries whilst unmarried. You might not agree with it but you respect and comply with the law. Secondly it's the amount, the fact it's being trafficked internationally and the quantity. Even in countries where it's legal i.e Holland. There would still be charges. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 The allure of easy money, as ever with JET. Although as recent sentencing for cannabis related crimes have been extremely light it could just be community services and a suspended sentence. E.g.: Two industrial units being used to grow cannabis, two men found with £70k worth of it: Hawksworth was given a two-year suspended jail sentence with 200 hours of unpaid work and 25 rehabilitation-activity days. Morgan received a 20-month suspended prison sentence and was ordered to complete a 20-day rehabilitation programme, a six-month alcohol-treatment course and 150 hours’ unpaid work. https://www.harrogateadvertiser.co.uk/news/crime/two-harrogate-businessmen-who-set-up-cannabis-farms-in-ripon-avoid-prison-4736777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand the stuff and steer clear of anyone who uses it because they are usually incredibly dull, but I don't see why it should be illegal to grow a plant at home and then dry it and smoke it. Treat it like homebrew - anyone can brew and drink it at home, but it is illegal to sell it unless you have a proper licence and pay the duty and VAT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
