Penalties for possession - The maximum penalty is five years imprisonment.Disorder? If you are walking down the street with an 1/8 in your pocket that gets discovered in a stop and search, but you are totally sober and not creating any fuss at all, how the hell would that constitute disorder?
Alternatively, police may:
* issue a warning (primarily for first-time offenders)
* issue a penalty notice for disorder, with an on-the-spot fine of £80

The sheer range of punishments shows how confused the situation is.
£80 fine to five years in prison for the same crime is ridiculous.
Except that new research shows that the actual level of fines for carrying HEROIN is £38.00 FFS ( Sunday Telegraph ) down from £180 some years ago.
