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
I heard in alot of cases they'll include the 'baggie' containing the drugs into the total weight, so it would be no surprise they include the binders/fillers etc.
alanzs have a look at this useful link > http://ncpic.org.au/ncpic/publications/factsheets/article/cannabis-and-the-law
although it may not directly answer your question i think the suggestive answer is NO it does not matter whether the plant is in soil or in a hydro setup in Victoria as all forms of marijuana are illegal.
Also, check the link at the bottom of the page. It has marijuana legislations relevant to each state or territory in Aus.
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
