A law of 25 June 2007 reduced penalties for drug possession and supply and fixed the quantity bands that still shape the law. Dried marijuana up to 20 grams became the small amount, 20 to 600 grams the large amount, and over 600 grams the especially large amount. Possession without intent to supply fell to up to two years for a small amount, three to five years for a large amount and five to ten years for an especially large amount; supply fell to four to eight, seven to twelve and twelve to twenty years.[1][2]
