But yeah, as of October 28, possession of small quantities of illicit drugs will only attract max penalty of $160. It sounds like the gist is that if you get caught, you get fined, or go through a program of some sort.
I must say I am surprised. Police will still have power to arrest and send to court, but the max penalty remains the same. No jail.
