No separate weight is reported for the marijuana alone, so the combined figure of more than 90 grams of marijuana and mephedrone is kept in the text and excluded from cannabis figures.
The sources give the incident as the night of 9 to 10 November; the submitted Radio Poznań article says 10 to 11 November, so the police statement date is used.
Blood-test results for the driver were not yet known, and no court outcome beyond the charges has been reported.
