A 44-year-old Sunshine Coast man has appeared in the Supreme Court in Brisbane charged with establishing a hydroponic drug crop inside his Buderim home in the state's south-east.

 

The court heard Scott David Woodforth was found by police last year with almost four kilograms of cannabis sativa, which he had cultivated from two plants growing under lights in a hidden room.

 

Woodforth admitted to being a heavy user of the drug for pain relief after a car accident and said that he had grown it so he would not have to go to drug dealers.

 

Justice Rosyln Atkinson accepted that Woodforth grew the drug for personal use and sentenced him to nine months imprisonment but ordered his immediate release on parole.

I'd say he's thanking his lucky stars that he got a judge with enough sense to not lock him up.

 

4kgs is a shitload of weed, even for the heaviest of smokers.

 

If you only ever have a few ounces to be caught with, you should have no troubles convincing them it's just personal and should only get a fine and most likely a conviction.

What 67 said is true. For the 44 year old to get done with 4kg 'n end up walking back out of the Queensland Courthouse with a suspended sentence, makes him one incredibly lucky dude. Every thing would've had to been in his favour...

Spose a heavy med user could use 11 grams a day very easy. And be unlucky enough to get caught with a year's supply.

 

Pretty good outcome tho.

Of more concern should be 'How did they catch him.'

 

Also how'd he get 4 kgs from 2 plants?

My thoughts too. Maybe by plants they meant harvests? If not, we need to find this man and learn from him

my bad, to be honest all i saw was the 2 plants... having not grown i wasn't sure how much you could get from a plant. i cant grow atm anyway.. to tempted to start smoking again (cant due to work atm)

I'm betting Roslyn got a bit the night before ..or is a stoner herself

 

The irony is that she recognised that the 4kgs of pot was to ease his severe pain, but if he's caught again with even a snippet of bud, he's fucked!

[loylty gets u nothing]

take care
