No custodial sentence for ganja up to 30 grammes

The PPP/C government is proposing to remove custodial sentences for possession of up to 30 grammes of cannabis.

Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC yesterday released the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) (Amendment) Bill 2021 which will appear at today’s sitting of the National Assembly.

The amendments had been promised by the previous government but were not delivered.
