Re: victimless crime
Sadly maybe not
I think there's a lot of people who might be able to relax their public view towards cannabis at least now that it seems to be a lot more in the agenda again, or maybe that's just because I'm reading up a lot more about things at the mo. But with CLEAR, LEAP, the recent HASC Drugs Inquiry I'm getting hopeful that something has to change soon.
So, I suppose other Judges may take a different view (not too sure exactly), but here's hoping that more and more people start speaking out about it.However he brushed aside the Crown’s assertion that Ray’s grow would have yielded up to a kilo and said his plants were “the cannabis equivalent of a bonsai tree”.

Re: victimless crime
Although, saying that, I've just read the following here:

Hmmm, interesting, I wonder if this varies by what area etc?But the report says in many cases the number of plants seized in raids is well above 25, which is regarded as the legal minimum to be prosecuted for commercial cultivation and for which the indicative minimum sentence is two to five years.
The police say they assume anyone who grows more than 10 plants is likely to have a surplus and therefore to be supplying others.
