Law Enforcement
Uddevalla police were said to confiscate any cannabis they found and usually pursue charges. Under-18s often got a warning, though a strict officer might take it further. If police asked for a urine sample without finding anything, the suggestion at the time was to ask for a blood test instead. Even asking for help after drinking was enough to get a friend searched for drugs. Ridiculous.
