Get Dutch cannabis on prescription bring it home legally

Go to The Netherlands, get cannabis on prescription and bring it home legally

I copied this from eddiesilence's post in the news section about Pinky's medicinal
cannabis:

I think it important enough to bring more attention to it here:

according to this correspondence it is legal for somebody from the UK to go to The
Netherlands and get cannabis on prescription and bring it home

    What follows is an exchange between activist Mr.J.D. and the Home Office. First, is
Mr. D's initial letter seeking clarification:

    Dear Sirs,

    I am a UK domiciled person and I understand that I can legally import herbal
medicinal cannabis from the Netherlands if I am in receipt of a prescription from a
Dutch Doctor.

    I understand that I would require a personal license if I possessed more than 3
months supply

    Can you please confirm that if I return from Holland in possession of less than 3
months supply of herbal cannabis and I possess a letter from the prescribing Doctor
stating

    My name
    My address
    My date of birth
    Dates of travel
    The quantity of cannabis, the dosage and total amount
    What it is prescribed for

    Then I will be legally in possession of prescribed cannabis in the UK

    Regards

    J. D.

    Next is the Home Office's response, confirming the situation:

    Mr D

    Apologies for the delay in responding to your enquiry.

    Your understanding, outlined below, concerning importation to the UK of a
controlled drug for personal use is correct.

    Regards
