The Supreme People's Court adopted an interpretation, in force from 11 April 2016, fixing the quantities that the Criminal Law leaves undefined. For cannabis, 30 kilograms of leaf, 2 kilograms of resin or 1 kilogram of oil is a 'relatively large amount', where illegal possession becomes a crime, and 150 kilograms, 10 kilograms and 5 kilograms a 'large amount', the tier that for trafficking carries fifteen years, life or death. Growing becomes a crime at 5,000 plants. Below these lines possession, use and small plots are dealt with by the police as administrative offences.[1]
