Britain:Prosecutions to soar under plan to slash limits for drug possession

Revealed: how 10 joints could lead to 14 years for dealing

The Guardian

Drug users caught with as few as five ecstasy tablets or five grams of cannabis - enough for about 10 joints - will be prosecuted as dealers under regulations drawn up by the Home Office, the Guardian has learned. The plan to slash the limit for cannabis possession for personal use would mean that anyone found with more could face a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
