In Ukraine, cannabis is mainly grown in small plantations, hidden amongst corn, in the black soil suitable for cultivation, which is found in the central and southern parts of this country. According to Ukrainian legislation, cultivation (without intent to sell) of up to 10 cannabis plants qualifies as an administrative violation, with a fine of from 18 to 100 tax-exempt minimum incomes and the seizure of plants. Reportedly, the limit for possession without intent to sell, for which no criminal liability is provided, shall not exceed five grams of cannabis.
By comparison, Russia reduced the limits for criminal possession of many drugs in 2006, with the criminal threshold for cannabis being cut from 20 to six grams.
Cannabis activity is strictly prohibited in Byelorussia. When a person is caught with cannabis, be it small or large amount, it can cost him or her a lot more (from bribing) and a law-breaker may well receive an 8–10 years' prison sentence.
P.S. A joke overheard in a pub:
Two Hippies are walking along a railroad track, stoned. One Hippie says: “This is a really long staircase, man!” The other Hippie says: “I don’t mind the stairs, man. It’s this low handrail that is killing me.”
