    Good stuff but at the moment they are just guidelines.
    Could do better imo.

    They are guidelines that are 'in force' (for want of a better term) for JPs and other sentencers to use as of 27th Feb. You imply they are a temporary thing and will change - they won't, not for at least another decade.

    They are actually better than I had anticipated. I can safely say I'm not going prison if I get busted again. That is music to my ears. Let's hope Sir Richard can talk them into legalising it today lol

    I think I've missed something as I really don't see these guidelines as good news. Seems that all offences related to cultivation carry custodial sentences as the starting point.

    For instance. You get caught with six plants in a small tent set up. You would be seen as the Leading Role, Category 4 cultivation of a Class B drug. The starting point for sentencing is one year inside and the scope for sentencing is from High Level community order to three years inside.

    How is that good ? What did I miss ?

    I'd like to know in what way they plan to accept Cannabis use on medical grounds in the courts, Is it just for people who're terminally ill?

    I hope there will be more light shed on this soon.

    You would be 'Lesser Role' not Leading Role. You would only be Leading role in a multi-person operation.

    I think that was stated by Peter Reynolds on CLEAR, I guess he got that bit wrong. They're not accepting for using cannabis for medical reasons as a mitigation. The mitigation and adjustment in sentence is for those who are ill in general. That's how I see it anyways

    I hope not , Anything that lieing piece of turd PR says needs to be taken with a whole bucket load of Salt imo.

    The sentencing council also spells out explicitly, for the first time, that the medical use of cannabis for serious conditions should be recognised by the courts as a mitigating factor when sentencing offenders.
