UK Home Secretary Clarke has released his thoughts on the difference between using and dealing. Over the next few months, he hopes to consult widely and put it into law. Let's compare the proposal with current NZ law:
Minimum levels for supply:_____NZ_____UK
Heroin:___________________0.5g____7g
Cocaine:__________________0.5g_____7g
Ecstacy:___________________5g____10 tablets
Amphetamine:______________5g_____14g
Cannabis resin:______________5g_____125g
Cannabis bud/leaf:____________28g____550g
Tomorrow, while we're feeling morally superior to Singapore as Nguyen Tuong Van swings, just remember that NZ is not so shit hot on sane drug law either.
