cannabis changed from class C to class B in January 2009
class c i forget the long explanation why but i remember cannabis being class c
In the UK, Cannabis has recently been reclassified back to Class B from Class C.
Class B
Cannabis has serious consequences and only recently have people found out how bad it actually is.
There is a lack of evidence to support classifying cannabis as a Class A drug, which typically indicates substances with the highest potential for harm. Cannabis has been used for medicinal and recreational purposes for centuries with relatively low risk of addiction or overdose compared to other Class A drugs like heroin or cocaine. Many argue that regulating cannabis like alcohol or tobacco may be a more appropriate approach.
No definitely not.
In the UK, cannabis is a class B drug. Possession is 5 years imprisonment and an unlimited fine. Supplying is 14 years imprisonment and an unlimited fine.
Classifying cannabis as a class A or B drug is a controversial topic. Supporters argue that it can pose health risks, especially for young people, due to potential cognitive impairment and addiction. Opponents argue that it has medicinal benefits and should be decriminalized or legalized for adult use.
Class A drugs are the drugs that are most dangerous for example cocaine. Class B drugs are the drugs that are mildly dangerous. Class C drugs are the drugs that are least dangerous for example cannabis.
Cannabis is an illegal class B drug. The maximum penalty for possession is five years in prison. For supply you can get 14 years in prison. You can get an unlimited fine for both.
It was mainly to do with police resources, and the belief that it was of the least harmful of drugs. PLEASE NOTE.. The classification has changed back from a class C to to a class B, so penalties will be much higher.
UK Class B drugs Acetyldihydrocodeine, Amphetamine, Cannabis, Codeine, Dexamphetamine, Dihydrocodeine, Ethylmorphine, Methylamphetamine, Methylphenidate, Nicocodine, Norcodeine, Phenmetrazine and Pholcodine.
