A 1995 amendment rewrote the BVI’s possession section, including a rule presuming possession for supply when someone holds more than 50 g of cannabis or cannabis resin.[1] The accused can rebut that presumption; possession below it remains an offence under the ordinary possession rule.[1] The same amendment is recorded in the later consolidated law’s cannabis-related definitions and penalty table.[1]
