Hemp plantations

Having a hemp plantation is punishable because growing hemp is not allowed (there are exceptions). Hemp is on list II of the Opium Act. If you or someone in your area is suspected of having a hemp plantation, it is important to call in an expert lawyer. The lawyers at our firm have a lot of experience in handling criminal cases, including hemp (plantation) cases. Please contact us for assistance and advice.

 

Having a hemp plantation is punishable under Article 3 of the Opium Act. The text of the law can be found below:

 

Article 3
It is prohibited to cultivate, prepare, process, sell, deliver, supply or transport a product as referred to in List II annexed to this Act or designated pursuant to Section 3a(5).

 

Punishment for having a hemp plantation

Many people wonder what punishment one can expect for having a hemp plantation, but that question can never be answered just like that. Punishment is tailor-made. In the case of a conviction, the judge looks at all kinds of factors, such as the circumstances under which the offence was committed, the person of the suspect, the maximum sentence and judgments in similar cases. The lawyers at our firm can make a realistic assessment of a possible penalty, even if it is ultimately up to the court to make the decision.
