State by state trafficable quantities

I think there may be an error with the document above in relation to WA and cannabis.

I was sure that to be charged with trafficking you had to have over three kilo's of green. As per Schedule 7 of the drugs act.

The 100 grams like they said is for the amount arising to presumption for sell or supply. As per Schedule 5 of the drug act.

I may be wrong. I got my copy of the WA drug Act from:

Well i was charged for possession of 300ml of "GHB"... 1gram is trafficking, yet that charge was dropped.. i wont go into detail.. but im not facing much as a result. and it could be highly speculated that i did indeed intend to distribute the chemical having purchased 150 doses... for "personal use"... who knows how they actually work this stuff out
 
I think I need to move to Tasmania...

weird, SA, ACT, and NT have a heaps lower standard of traffickable quantity for mdma than anyone else... basically saying if you have more than one pill on you - you're a drug dealer.

Not many people here in the A.C.T. are aware of that either.

Sorry I missed this, see below. I posted the table again for easy comparison.

TABLE 1

358wabq.jpg


As shown in Table 1, the threshold for trafficable quantities of heroin, cocaine, amphetamine or methamphetamine is set at 2 grams in most jurisdictions. The threshold quantities are slightly higher in NSW and Victoria (with 3 grams) and higher again in Tasmania. Yet the thresholds are relatively similar. This means that in most jurisdictions possession of less than 2 grams of heroin, cocaine, amphetamine or methamphetamine will constitute an offence of possession for personal use.

There is greater jurisdictional variation in threshold quantities in regards to the possession of MDMA and cannabis. In four jurisdictions (Qld, Tas, Vic and WA) the threshold for trafficable quantities of MDMA is set at 2, 3 or 25 grams. But in the other four jurisdictions it is much lower: at 0.5 grams or 0.75 grams. Jurisdictions thus differ in whether their threshold quantities for possession of MDMA and amphetamine type substances are similar or different.

In regards to cannabis, the levels vary by type of product (see table 2). For cannabis leaf the trafficable quantities are set at 300 grams or lower in most jurisdictions. But NT, SA and WA are notable in having lower thresholds (50 or 100 grams). Conversely the thresholds in Queensland and Tasmania are higher (500 grams and 1000 grams respectively). The threshold in regard to cannabis plants is set at 10 plants in most jurisdictions. But in NT and NSW the threshold is lower (at 5 plants), and in Queensland the threshold is shaped primarily by the aggregate weight, but could in theory include up to 100 small plants.

TABLE 2

* In NSW unlike for the other substances a threshold for possession of cannabis plants is not set for trafficable quantities. But anyone found in possession of more than the small quantity (listed above) is liable to be punished as a trafficker.
**or 100 plants if aggregate weight is less than 500g

Taken from this page - DRUG MISUSE AND TRAFFICKING ACT 1985 - SECT 3 Definitions. Please note this is for NSW ONLY!!!

In this Act, except in so far as the context or subject-matter otherwise indicates or requires:

"cannabis leaf" means any plant or part of a plant of the genus Cannabis by whatever name that plant or part may be called, and includes the achene and seed of any such plant, but does not include:
(a) cannabis oil,
(b) any fibre of any such plant or part from which the resin has been extracted, or
(c) cannabis plant.

"cannabis oil" means any liquid containing tetrahydrocannabinol.
"cannabis plant" means any growing plant of the genus Cannabis.
"cannabis resin" means the separated resin (whether crude or purified) obtained from cannabis leaf, but does not include cannabis oil.

So in answer to your question; yes :)
 
^Hang on, are you tryin to be cocky to me?

I don't think my point was unrealistic - lookin at the "facts" you provided... and the ways the laws are structured - if you're busted with MDMA, and the total mass of the MDMA is higher than 0.5g (this would include biners and fillers in a pills) you'd be a drug trafficker for carrying two pills.

Thats just the way the law is written on the matter. Doesn't mean it will be the case - but it can. depends on the magistrate or judge you're dealing with.
 
^ no no, sorry I just reread my post it isn't very clear, allow me to extend apologies - I meant the law was unrealistic. More than 1 pill and you're a dealer! Ridiculous

I agree with you entirely :)
 
As far as I know, they dont take total weight. Arent they tested at the lab and then the total md in 1 would be multiplied by how many there are?

Seems a bit odd to include binders/fillers/caffiene/god knows what into the weight
