legal amount of weed to grow in uk
Cannabis in the United Kingdom Cannabis is illegal to possess, grow, distribute or sell in the UK.[40] It is a Class B drug, with penalties for unlicensed dealing, unlicensed production and unlicensed trafficking of up to 14 years in prison, an unlimited fine, or both.[40] The maximum penalty for possession of cannabis is five years in prison and an unlimited fine.[40] A "Cannabis warning" can be issued for small amounts of cannabis (generally less than 1 ounce of herbal cannabis, or a slightly higher quantity of hashish) if it is found to be for personal use. This entails the police keeping a record, albeit one which carries no fine and does not show up on standard DBS Check. From 2004 to 2009 it was a Class C drug.[41]
