since this article Cannabis has been downgraded to class C.........it still means that you can be charged with possession, but only if you have more than what's deemed for personal use........like if you had say 2 oz on you, they would take a note of it, take the drugs, and a slap on the wrist.........
if your holding 4 x 9bars........ie 36 oz of hash, they'll jail you for dealing........
take this for example of how it's changed in my hometown, one of my friends recently got arrested for an assault (provoked)........the other guy got done too........but he asked the cops while on the way to the station, what the score with hash was, the conversation wen't something like this.........
.................................................. .....................................
"Excuse me officer, what will happen if i go to the station and empty my pockets ad there's a 1/2oz in there"
COP......."Well we'd have to confiscate it, and send you a letter to tell you not to carry it in public"
"I wasn't sure how it all worked with the reclassification"
COP......."Best thing to do mate, i'll slow down, you throw it out the window, watch where it goes, and pick it up later"
"nice one officer, thanks a lot"
.................................................. ....................................
now why aren't all cops like that??..........lol.........he would only have got a warning, but he would have lost his weed........understanding cops, now that's what we need.........big change from what it used to be like.........Peace out..........Sid
