I move amendment No. 2:

In page 5, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following:“Possession of controlled drugs for personal use

8.Notwithstanding anything in the Misuse of Drugs Acts 1977 to 2015, in any proceedings for an offence under those Acts it shall be a defence to prove that the defendant had in his or her possession a controlled drug for his or her personal use and for no other purpose. ”.
