Basically, the home office (read: department of justice) made an edict for all of the UK that cannabis was to be considered a class "C" drug which puts it on a par with steroids and a whole lotta basically not to serious drugs. Well the impotent government north of the border gets it in to their head to show how big their penis is, by dissenting with the home office... so they inform their police departments to keep arresting and IMPRISONING! people for posession of cannabis, even though 1/3 scottish teenagers have smoked it. The problem is that highland culture is very nazi-hateful-prodestant and judgemental and nasty. They would rather kill their own child and eat the flesh than admit that drugs war is the problem and not the drugs... so in a society of cannibals... one must accept the stupidity.
That said, scotland is theoretically governed by the home office, and must accept that cannabis is not classified as a rather trivial drug. Any common sense will show an objectitve observer that alcohol is the primary drug of problems in the highlands... but as the place is small towns, very judgemental... you know the types that read the bible using it as ammunition to hate and destroy others.... not to love jesus....
Well that hate culture rules the scottish parliament and it makes laws so that people can be arrested and imprisoned for possession of cannabis and never get a decent job ever again in their life with the criminal record stigma. This does not in the least prevent peopel from smoking cannabis... rather there are 2 cultures in the highlands the "cannabis" culture and the asshole culture. In the former, are professionals of all sorts, from police officers, MSP's to head teachers... and in the second as well... just the second does not realize, nor will it accept the possibility that a good 40% of the highlands smokes weed. Its the same culture of institutional denial that runs the washington war on drugs users and the massive prison industrial complex to take away voting rights.... just imported to scotland to fuck over the locals.
Sadly, the official scots are not very bright in holy rood and the newspapers, so they think that by controlling propaganda and being nazi's about drugs, that they have repressed cannabis usage... rather they are the stupid assholes responsible for the drugs probem to start with, as they've willingly divided their society rather than be realistic to the reality that people are in difficult times, and need some lovin.
Basically, its much better to smoke weed in england (better in a city) as the rural areas are nazis as well (read "torys")... and the whole of british law is inconsistent, and applied differently based on which country busts you... very similar to US states, except by county in britain. The law will tell you that its illegal, and as well the law will tell you you can pick and take any sort of halucingenic mushroom you want in britain without breaking a single law.... so they basically don't know what they're doing with drugs laws... and would rather poison their kids with street unknown drugs than provide a safe environment for their kids to experiment and learn from drugs as a process in life.
