Possible loophole in qld legislation??

[sloppyjaloppy]

Hi everyone, i'm just new to OS, but i was recently reading the QLD 'Drugs misuse act 1986' and the 'Drugs misuse regulation 1987' and noticed a possible loophole in the legislation.

 

www.legislation.qld.gov.au/ LEGISLTN/CURRENT/D/DrugsMisuseA86.pdf

 

www.legislation.qld.gov.au/ LEGISLTN/CURRENT/D/DrugsMisuseR87.pdf

 

 

As stated in drugs misuse A86, part 2, penalties apply for a number of offences concerning schedule 2 substances, however, in drugs misuse R87 (part 5), schedule 2 lists only Cannabis Sativa. What about Cannabis indica? Could this be classed under Cannabinoids?

 

Does anyone think that this could be a justifiable defence if someone was to be prosecuted, if it could be proved that the pot in question was Indica and not Sativa?

I am not sure if it will work...

I grow indica strain thats supposed to be 5% sativa... would they have to chop the sativa out and leave the indica.. :: :: ::

 

next time I get busted I will try it on , hey.... :: :: ::

 

I do know a really good lawyer.. :thumbsup

They're varieties of the same species, they were incorrectly classified as distinct species. No, it won't hold up in court.

It was tried a few years ago and antagnonized the magistrate, same with using the xcuse its a religion.
