Cannabis cautioning programThe cannabis cautioning program is a Police diversion program that involves the provision of a cautioning notice for simple use/possess cannabis offences to offenders 17 years and over. The offender must only be in possession of a small (non-trafficable) amount of cannabis, admit to the offence and consent to being cautioned. A person can accumulate two cautions only. A voluntary cannabis education program is available to accompany the cannabis caution. This program is currently available in 15 locations across Victoria, in both metropolitan and rural areas and is open to friends and family members also.
