As President Macron tries to stop gang violence, French cannabis users caught with even modest amounts of the drug will face immediate fines of up to €2,500. If offenders lack the cash to pay fines, which begin at €150 for a first offense, police will be provided with mobile payment devices to accept cards. The majority of cannabis possession fines are currently unpaid.
