Anyone who knowingly grew a cannabis plant without a licence from the Public Health Committee now committed an offence, punishable under the 1954 law with up to ten years in prison or a £1,000 fine.[1][2] Letting premises be used for smoking cannabis or cannabis resin, or for dealing in them, became an offence too.[1] The same law replaced the old term Indian hemp with cannabis and cannabis resin in the 1954 controls.[1]
