it wouldn't be implemented. it's not like recreational drug use is such a problem that it's worth putting non-violent, otherwise non-criminal and predominantly young people into prison. and non recreational drug users are going to be jailed for acquisitive crime anyway
also the judiciary in this country is fiercely independent. the gov can not simply demand that judges use overkill in this manner. it would have to be legislated, and well good luck with that.
more likely that end users are sued as the record industry did decades ago. but damages have to be proved and it's hard for damages to exceed more than a few quid.
cannot see a world where politicians decide it is worth criminalising and imprisoning people for this, when they are moving away from criminalising nonpayment of TV licenses.
