In the neighboring country, the production, possession, sale and purchase of cannabis is prohibited, not even for medicinal use<\/b>. The penalties imposed by French law range from economic penalties and prison<\/b>, depending on the extent of the amount seized. This does not mean that there are no growshops in France, far from it, in fact there are more growshops in Paris than in other European capitals that enjoy softer laws on the matter.<\/p>\n

As regards consumption of cannabis<\/strong>, the maximum penalty to which the consumer is exposed in France, it is one year in prison or a maximum fine of 3,750 euros.<\/strong> In addition, in the Gallic country, cannabis consumption involves possession. Although it must be said, that if the amount of cannabis seized is small, usually these people are not processed as long as it can be demonstrated that there is no link with the production or trafficking of marijuana.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The gendarmes usually do is determine that the amount seized is for personal use<\/strong>, then the merchandise is confiscated and proceeds to its destruction. In many cases in which complaints have reached the courts generally, the judge dismisses. What do the French authorities, is to apply a sentence of four years to anyone who has relapsed several times in the same crime<\/strong>. That is, if the person in question is caught several times with cannabis, may have to serve a sentence, regardless of the amount of cannabis seized.<\/p>\n

French law also provides for the production of cannabis<\/strong> (even it may be for personal use) and this fact even punishable with sentences of up to 20 years in prison and financial penalties that can amount to 7,500,000 euros<\/strong>. We must also say that, so far, have been very few cannabis growers who have suffered these maximum sentences.<\/p>\n

In the past year, the fight against illegal drug trafficking has been strengthened<\/strong>. French Justice is especially hard on those who commit such crimes even if France is not the final destination but simply an airport stopover<\/strong> what tends to happen quite often. There have been cases in which infringements have been classified as “crimes”<\/strong> and if they, are punishable by imprisonment for 10 years, and you can even get to life imprisonment, as well as lead to fines of large sums of euros. Qualified as “crimes” offenses are punished with imprisonment up to 10 years<\/strong>, plus the corresponding fine usual.<\/p>\n

A study recently conducted in this country, concludes that they are processed only 10% of those arrested for drug<\/strong> and promptly imprisonment are held for drug use, but represent only 0.4% the total prison population.<\/p>\n
