The 2001 law bans cannabis growing everywhere and requires landowners and occupiers to destroy plants on their land.[@law2001] Small personal growing falls under the shorter Article 110 tiers, with no fixed plant limit.[@law2001] The reviewed text does not settle seed sale or possession separately, so the seed trade is left unclear.

No cannabis-specific driving offence or THC limit was found in the reviewed 2001 drug law.[@law2001] Courts may restrict driving as an additional penalty for specified production, trafficking and supply offences, which is a sanction rather than a per se limit.[@law2001]
