Grønland
Police in Norway's capital, Oslo, have announced a crackdown on hashish buyers as part of a broader crackdown on street drugs sales and use. Hash is peddled by street dealers in neighborhoods including Grønland and Grünerløkka along the Akerselva River, according to online scene reports.

The Scandinavian countries are among Europe's toughest when it comes to drug use and sales. In Norway, penalties for simple drug possession include fines and jail terms of up to six months. For sales, you're looking at two years, 10 years if the offense is "aggravated," 15 years if a "considerable quantity" is involved, and up to 21 years for "very aggravating circumstances."

Under the newly announced crackdown, police are warning that people caught buying hash for their own use face arrest, loss of drivers' license, heavy fines, and even custody rights over their children. Some offenders caught with small amounts of hash have already been fined up to $1,560, according to early reports.

Govts. of the world are legal fictions, imaginary & in reality a group of ATTORNEYS making WAR against the people's unalienable rights.
The pursuit of happiness is simple to understand - one may choose to do as one pleases as long as NO ONE is damaged by their actions!

Damage may take many forms - however the key element is their MUST, be a damage - in law this is known as "corpus delecti" -
SHOW ME THE BODY!

The ATTORNEY, ASSASSINS, SABOTEURS created a language to
fool & manipulate the people - it is "legalize" & ONLY after studying can one decipher the hidden language!

Buy a copy of Black's Law Dictionary & start with the word "person."

Most everyone agrees that they are a good "person." When one accepts being a "person" one admits to be a corporation that cannot be heard,
cannot speak or think - therefore this "person" needs representation by an ATTORNEY & YOU'RE FLUSHED DOWN THE CRIMINAL INJUSTICE SYSTEM (SEWER).

THE CRIMINAL INJUSTICE SYSTEM is a "FRAUD" - it was designed for the ATTORNEYS & only 1 in a million will understand this truth!

WAKE UP - THIS BUD IS FOR YOU -
NOW YOU ARE A BUD - WIS - ER.
