There is no legal recreational supply. Possessing, buying or obtaining cannabis for personal use brings six months to two years with no exempt amount; dependent users may be sent to treatment instead, and voluntary treatment-seekers can avoid prosecution if conditions are met.[@law] Giving cannabis to another person counts as dealing: five to fifteen years and a fine, with death available for aggravated trafficking.[@law]
