Is it illegal to grow cannabis for personal use? (NOT FOR SALE)?

i was told by a friend that you can grow for Personal use. and that it is not illegal as long as you are not supplying. i don't think if this is right though, does any one know the laws on this as i don't know the laws on things like this and was curious of the answer as i couldn't find it in google

Although it is illegal if you are caught remember there is no crime until you are caught. So grow safely and never never never never show anyone what you are doing even your best friend.Is it illegal to grow cannabis for personal use? (NOT FOR SALE)?
This is the answer i gave to a similar question.


There is no legal amout you can have at any time on personal property as the growing of any substance which is classed as illegal makes it a crime whether it be one plant or a 100. The UK Law, the Dangerous Drugs Act 1925 which made cannabis illegal was passed on September 28th 1928. This was a result of errors that grouped cannabis in with narcotics during the Second International Opiates Conference in 1924. Cannabis cannot be classed as a dangerous drug.


The UK Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 listed cannabis as a Class B drug and banned its medicinal use.





It has since been reclassified to class C and the sentence on possession reduced.





MISUSE OF DRUGS ACT 1971


This is the offending law under which people in the UK can be prosecuted for possession, cultivation, supply, possession with intent to supply, production, importation or exportation of the plant which many people find sacred. One can also be prosecuted for being knowingly concerned with these offences, or conspiracy to commit them (you do not have to do anything but agree to break the law to be guilty of conspiracy).





Sentencing varies throughout the land but are usually in agreed guidelines. These are: for possession anything from a caution to 2 years; for the other offences anything from a conditional discharge to 14 years. Generally the more that the amount involved is worth, the harsher the sentence.





A strange anomaly in law is that one can be prosecuted for 'allowing one's premises to be used' for the above offences. It is an offence to let people smoke or eat cannabis on your premises. It is also an offence to allow people to smoke opium, but strangely enough it is not an offence to allow the injection of heroin or the snorting of cocaine!
Yes, of course it's illegal. Still, the last time I was arrested for cultivation, I was able to convince the police that it was strictly for personal use, and I received a caution. They left the growlamp, and I was told if I should be arrested for the same offence in the future, there was no reason why I shouldn't receive another caution.


That's close enough to legal for me.
Cultivation of cannabis remains illegal in terms of Section 4 (1) (a) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 - you can still, as far as I recall, be sentenced to up to 12 months imprisonment, although for a first offence you're almost certain to get a fine.
In UK :





Illegal - Cultivation.





Supply is a separate offence.





What's your friend's address?





I see the cut and paste crew are at it again (Delta - Top Cut and Paster). If you're going to do that, at least reference it....! Dont worry, Ill do it for you...
yes, it is illegal





some farms can apply to grow a version of the cannabis plant; a hybrid with very low THC, but even they have to be licensed by the home office








your friend is seriously misinformed
The only way growing for personal use could be construed as legal is if you never get caught. to put it another way...yes it is illegal.
