NSW government takes on the plant kingdom

Thanks for posting this, it's always good to keep up with these outrageous developments.

What was the outcome in the end?

My understanding of it is that plants are still fine to grow, but a whole bunch of substances have being added to the listed of those already scheduled. It's not very clear and I'm no legal expert, but that is what I have been told. The wording of the laws themselves are almost impossible to decipher their true meaning, so it's difficult to say with any certainty, but it does seem that the plants remain fine, as long as there is no show of intention to use them, or sell them under the pretext of them being used as drugs. Gah, these laws are so frustrating! It just doesn't seem right that a law can be worded in such a way that the meaning is obfuscated entirely, yet can still be used to penalise people!

It was done on the sly. Not much advertisement of their intention, nor fanfare about it happening. The fuckers!

 

 

Don't other states already have similar laws?

Yes, similar but not the same. Though that's hard to say when I still don't fully understand exactly what this new law even means in real terms!!

OK cheers for the reply. May look into this.
