Cannabis laws in YN

Postby Republica Federal de Catalunya » Sat Apr 25, 2020 1:35 am

Cannabis is considered a lesser drug. It's recreational use is tolerated, possession of less that 5g or 2 plants for selfconsumtion is tolerated.
For possession from 5 g to 30g and up to 5 plants, without prescription, is a minor crime, unless you previous criminal record, fine and confiscation.
Over 30 grams is a delict and 6 plants or over.
The ownership and sale of paraphernalia and seeds is legal.
You cannot cross borders with over 5g grams.

Cannabis can be bought in chemistries under medical prescription, less than 30g, only if you have a ICS (NHS) medical card.
You can get legally recreative cannabis in licenced clubs. To be consumed in the club. You can only take with you 5 grams. Those clubs normally sell also soft drinks and food you must be +18 to enter. They can't sell tobacco or alcohol.

we have no laws regarding what anyone my consume or posses. we do have restrictions on what may be bought, sold, mass produced or imported.

cannabis is not on our list of restricted articles and substances. it takes a two thirds majority of the entire popular vote to place anything on that list.

(guns and automobiles are on that list, however, even these are not technically unlawful to posses, as long as you don't try to buy, sell, mass produce or import them)

Recreational usage of cannabis is legal, but production is tightly managed by the state to control quality. Many other recreational substances are likewise legal and placed under the same restrictions.

Cannabis is completely legal and unrestricted within the Holy Empire. It is rather easy to obtain regardless of what country in the Holy Empire one is in, and average price for a single dose of most cannabis products is somewhere around 20 copper crowns. It can be purchased from most druggists and even general stores. Approx. 70% of all cannabis produced in the Holy Empire comes from colonial plantations.

For more on drugs of the Holy Empire, see our factbook on it here.

Possession of small amounts for personal recreational use is tolerated, though not explicitly legal, but sale of cannabis is punishable by confiscation and a large fine. Medicinal use is legal if prescribed by a doctor.

All recreational drugs are banned and nearly all drug offenses are punished with execution. Consumption or trafficking will lead to capital punishment, whereas possession will lead to a long forced labor term or to execution, depending on the amount and circumstances.

Cannabis is classified as an illegal drug under Aikorilandic law and has a strong negative stigma attached to it, making prevalence of cannabis use very low.

Possession of an illegal drug is a minor felony punishable by incarceration for a period of not less than 180 days and not more than 2 years. In addition to incarceration, the convicted may also be fined up to 10,000 Arirang.

Narcotic drugs are highly illegal in the Holy Catholic State. Users caught for the first time are given a flogging in public, while habitual drug addicts are confined in prison camps with other socially undesirable individuals (thieves, witches, sodomites, prostitutes, plague carriers). Manufacture and trafficking are capital offenses, punishable by hanging.

Cannabis is legal to purchase, possess, and consume in Aldina; it is also legal to grow and distribute with the proper licensing and strict adherence to Imperial food and drug standards. However, its use is rare here due to Aldina's temperate-alpine climate making it difficult to grow the stuff, and due to the expense of importing it from its native latitudes; alcohol is the recreational substance of choice in most of the Empire.

Montevento has a quite strict stance regarding the different recreational drugs, among them Cannabis.

The cultivation, possession and consumption for recreational purposes of cannabis has been totally prohibited in Montevento, however, its use for medical purposes was never prohibited by the government. In case of having a medical prescription issued by a health professional from Montevento, cannabis (and other products that may contain it) can be easily purchased at any pharmacy in the country, without age or nationality restrictions.

The use of cannabis is decriminalized for recreational use and completely legal for medicinal use. However, carry more than a few grams (50 g) of weed and you'll be arrested for drug trafficking. The penalty for weed trafficking, however, is more relaxed compared to crack and cocaine.

Medical use is allowed in minimal amounts, however recreational use is strictly prohibited. Citizens are subject to fines and/or jail time depending on the amount of cannabis.

Might wanna increase the size of the OP.

Cannabis, along with other recreational drugs, is illegal in the USSR. Punishments, depending on the drug, can go from fines for cannabis to years of rehabilitation and imprisonment for hard drugs such as heroin and cocaine.

Cannabis possession, of any amount, is illegal, and is usually punished by confiscation of the cannabis and a large fine. Medical marijuana-based drugs are only legal if they have been proven to work more than 50% of the time, with no "high-based" side effects, and they are regulated even more strictly than other medical drugs.

Drug selling, trafficking, or dealing (these terms are used interchangeably in law) is usually punished with a year in prison, two years if the criminal sold to minors.

Manufacture of the cloth hemp is legal.

Cannabis has been fully legal since the passage of the Marijuana Legalization Proposal in 2008, which passed the Forum with a 98.9% majority, with only the eleven Members from the socially conservative Gandoor Freedom Group voting against the proposed law.

The Marijuana Legalization Proposal completely repealed the 1937 law criminalizing cannabis in the Democratic Republic (ownership of small amounts of marijuana for personal consumption had previously been decriminalized in 1991) and, since its passage, the production and sale of cannabis or cannabis products has been regulated by the central government and anyone in our nation, aged 18 or older, may purchase and use cannabis at their own discretion.

Medicinal marijuana has been legal since 2002.

All recreational drugs are illegal, except for caffeine. Medical marijuana is legal, however, and has been since the late 1990s. This is mostly due to the beliefs of the politicians of yore and the legislatures' unwillingness to pass a law on the contrary.
