A prosecution in court for a 'simple cannabis offences' can only be commenced after the person has been given an expiation notice [Controlled Substances Act 1984 s 45A(2)]. In the event that a summons is issued instead, then the court hearing should be adjourned to enable the Police to give the person the opportunity of being served with an expiation notice and expiating the offence. This is desirable as, if the matter is expiated, no criminal record results.

If you were considering obtaining a fire arm for hunting, why not buy a decent compound bow to scratch the itch whilst you try and sought the firearms side? It’s a legitimately satisfying way of obtaining meat for the freezer and it’s bloody challenging....? Just a suggestion.
