Schengen seems to cover many things and not just border controls.
Even if they claim UK is signed up to the medical aspect, there is this part, lifted from Wikipedia:

Now that covers transportation only. Receiving it in the post is probably a different matter. The sender is breaking the law but is the receiver?

Cannabis is still viewed across the world as a narcotic. And the guy had only a prescription.Judicial cooperation

Narcotic Drugs, Chapter 6
Chapter 6 of TITLE III (Article 70 - 76) is entitled Narcotic Drugs.[82] The Schengen states are obliged to prosecute illegal trade in narcotics whilst at the same time afford every protection to those prescribed medicines that contain narcotic elements. They also must provide for the forfeiture of illegal profits that derive from trade in illicit or controlled substances. The control of cross-border legal trade in such substances has to be exercised in the territory, not at the borders.[citation needed]
Persons are permitted to transport controlled substances for their personal medical treatment in the territory of other members to Schengen Police and Security Co-operation, if they carry official documentation of an from the competent authority in their resident, domicile state. The documentation is standard across the European Union and refers to a legalised original copy of the document entitled: SCH/Com-ex (94) 28(revised)[83] document drawn-up by their general practitioner and countersigned and passed under the State Seal by the Health Inspectorate of their domicile state, as listed in Annex II to the 1994 Decision on the certificate provided for in Article 75 to carry narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.[84]
A prescription from a medical practitioner does not qualify for this legal requirement.

Maybe someone should get weed send to them, to multiple addresses, and to tell the police about it.
With multiple addresses, what are they gonna do about a guy who is openly self-medicating. He is only receiving the stuff. Major difference is that he is publicising it and informing the police.
Seriously, if they cannot prove he arranged for the weed to be sent, what can anyone do about it?

Any ideas where to find out if the UK is actually signed up to the medical part of the schengen?wietroker wrote:Schengen seems to cover many things and not just border controls.
