The government has released guidelines by which they can tell if someone is a dealer, the amounts are going to be;
"Home Office officials said last night that the government was "minded to set" the limits at 4ozs of cannabis resin, half a kilo of cannabis leaf, 10 ecstasy tablets, or 7g of heroin or crack cocaine."

Interesting stuff, and higher limits than I expected.

these guide lines mean most coppers will get on with catching real criminals now ...those doing 62 in a 60 zone.
Maybe, the limit for cannabis is very high, I guess they dont want to bother with small dealers either.
The whole thing is stupid though, they have basically decriminalised personal use of cannabis yet all the criminal rubbish is still there.
today i heard that coke offences are up 16% all other drugs down 23% ...do these figures actualy mean ANYTHING at all?
i think not. totaly meaningless seeing as they are targeting coke and not bothering with dope.
Seems a better idea to me, cannabis users shouldnt get attention but the cocaine traffic should.
A very sensible move, surprisingly.
With David Cameron having made some noise about re-classifying E and all the stuff about him supposedly doing coke as a student, i reckon this could be a promising period...i'm quite sure he knows that legalisation is the answer, probably as does Blair...and without getting attacked from the tories, he might just feel he can make some progress.
actually then he did seem rather up to considering a gradual decriminilsation
most people never hear or watch these comittees, they're mighty dull with loads of facts and figures, however they concluded the war on drugs isnt the way to approach it, obviously they never said that flat out, they recomended 'alternatives' be found to using legal powers

That's what I thought. Though a lot of people I know get them for their friends if they need them, so I guess technically it's small time dealing, even if there is no profit.
