So what is the law in the UK now. I heard they decriminalized pot. Whatever decriminalized means.



For a while, it was reclassified as a class C drug (coke is A) and the cops would generally confiscate it with a warning.
Recently there were suggestions that it would go back to be class B drug with the resultant higher consequences if caught with it.
Just for the record, I have never done any "illegal" drugs and don't care if others do - as long as it doesn't impact on me in any way.


With regard to Simon's actions, I think he could have been very close to facing charges for murder (or attempted murder) if things had got out of hand. While I fully understand wanting to protect your family, leaving your home with a weapon and going looking for someone will not be classed as self defence.
