So i was found to have thc in my system by a saliva test at a roadside rbt station. Went to court, and i realize the charge is not whether or not i was under the influence, but that it was present in my system while driving. So you cant plead not guilty to a scientific fact. It was in my system. I was not stoned, but thats beside the point. Anyway, there is a MINIMUM 6 months disqualification, unless you get an exemption from the police and RTA, for work or other essential needs. Thats if you are good and have no prior DUI's or criminal history. So the law is not good, and should be changed, but we also have to realize that we havent had the experience with drugs tha…

The law is pretty clear but wondering what sort of lenience gets shown when the actual day in a South oz court comes if there is only a few plants involved and no prior offences. I’ve called a couple of lawyers advertising their services in this regard and they tell me that there is no lenience given and always a conviction but I guess they’re probably going to do that to get business. Would really love to hear of any case studies. Cheers P

hey guys been away for quite a few months, knock at the door early Saturday morning.. 2 police there, long story short they got a crime stopper call in that cannabis was being grown at my address.. (a month after I harvested no live plants growing when they came) I complied, showed them the yard, told them i grew "a few" plants over summer for perso.. They asked what's inside, again complied and said "a few ounces of perso" lucky they were all in jars.. lucky they didnt come 2 weeks earlier as I had an extra 3 pounds ready to go.. In the end I was done with 564 grams of flower in the jars.. 19 plants that were all dead rotting stems but its evidence of cultivation, l…

Got caught 4 plants, 120 gms of bud and a bong. Told the magistrate i grow for medical reasons, he told me that it was still agaist the law and he had to give me some sort of penalty and he fined me $600.00. For qld i found that reasonable, if this happened a few years ago i would have a very differe nt outcome.
