Uzbekistan's top court counts cannabis gifts as drug supply

Uzbekistan's Supreme Court told judges that giving drugs away, lending them or using them to repay a debt counts as supply, alongside selling.[1] It confirmed that small holdings without intent to supply belong under administrative law and told courts to assess evidence of supply intent together, including quantity and packaging.[1] Sowing cannabis was a completed growing offence even if the seeds never sprouted.[1]
