Possession · 25%3/10

adds 7.5 of 25 points

Since 2008 possessing a small amount for personal use without intent to sell is an administrative offence, not a crime. The fine is heavy — 200 to 400 times the minimum wage unit, roughly US$500–1,000 — but there is no prison and the fine is waived for people who voluntarily seek treatment.

Personal cultivation · 25%1/10

Growing cannabis is a criminal offence. Industrial hemp cultivation is permitted under licence.

Punishment & enforcement · 20%3/10

adds 6.0 of 20 points

Users face a large fine instead of the two months in jail that applied before 2008. Sale and cultivation for sale remain crimes with prison.

Sharing & gifting · 10%1/10

adds 1.0 of 10 points

Supply is a crime with three to seven years or more.
