JOD

label Personal possession of cannabis plant (table 3) · treatment criminal · fine 500 · prison min 1 month · prison 6 months · note One to six months, JOD200–500 fine, or both; first offence leaves no record, label Personal possession of cannabis resin (table 1) · treatment criminal · fine 3000 · prison min 1 year · prison 3 years · note One to three years and a JOD1,000–3,000 fine

There is no legal recreational supply. Plant possession for personal use brings one to six months and a JOD200–500 fine; resin one to three years and JOD1,000–3,000 — but a first offence leaves no criminal record, courts may substitute treatment, and self-seekers are protected.[@l23,schedules26] Growing for trade brings at least fifteen years of hard labour.[@l23]

l23, schedules26

label Personal use and possession · treatment criminal · prison min 3 months · prison 3 years · note Three months to three years in prison and a fine, fine amount not stated in the retained text; treatment available as an alternative to prosecution

There is no legal recreational supply. Personal use and possession bring three months to three years and a fine, though treatment can replace prosecution; arrests of users remain common.[@idpc] Bekaa hashish farming is a decades-old open secret, periodically raided, while users face jail — often pre-trial — and traffickers long sentences.[@idpc,mjb]
