Ive been caught with cannabis by a Garda. What happens next?

If you have been found in possession of cannabis, which is a controlled substance under the misuse of drugs acts, a number of possibilities could happen.

If you were found in possession of cannabis after December 2020 and you have never been found in possession of cannabis before, you may be eligible to receive an adult caution in respect of this incident. If you have received the benefit of an adult caution before for possession of drugs you will not have the benefit of it again and will be summonsed or charged to attend court to deal with the case.
