Is this not the UK where it’s decriminalized?

It’s effectively decriminalized everywhere but when marijuana junkies get all hopped up on the devil’s lettuce they get paranoid and murdery.

Its not really decriminalized more just lack of enforcement beacue they have better things to do, its still a type B substance i think..

And can a cop (legally) arrest you if you’re just high and aren’t actively doing the drug and not breaking any other laws?

In the US some states call that ‘internal possession’, it’s mostly used so that they have something to charge teenagers with when they catch them high.

In Sweden they can (and do). The police here take about 55 000 blood and urine samples per year for drug use convictions. It’s awful.

Once the substance is in your body it is denatured. Therefore no possession charge. Only of you are driving etc is it a problem
She’s probably more worried about probable cause for a search

Decriminalized doesn’t mean legal.

According to TinEye, this image was from at least 2019, and I don’t think it was decriminalized back then? Wikipedia has some info from a few years earlier where they cite a survey saying a majority of all police recorded drug offences in the UK were for possession of cannabis.

I’m so American I thought she’d been pepper sprayed and her eyes were still red while in custody
