Admission of having smoked cannabis implies that one would have had to be in possession of the drug in order to smoke it, and this is considered enough evidence to base a prosecution on.
A recent case in which a man was charged in court with possession of cannabis - even though the police found no cannabis on his person - turns out to be far more commonplace than one would think.
Goran Stoyanovich, 33, was last week charged with possession of cannabis, an illegal substance, after admitting to the police under interrogation that he had smoked cannabis in the past.
