The Cannabis Discussion Thread

I understand where you're coming from, but that's also ridiculous man. You can talk about whatever the fuck you want, really. There are no legal consequences from discussing anything, I mean it's not like he was talking about a future plan to buy a large amount of drugs.
Can't help you OP, use Google or maybe Mr. B will pop by.

Cultivation

Cultivation of a non-commercial quantity of a narcotic plant is an indictable offence triable summarily (s.72B DPCSA). A narcotic plant is defined in section 70(1) with reference to Schedule 11, Part 2. A narcotic plant includes a cutting of a plant, whether or not the cutting has roots. The more commonly known plants are cannabis, the opium poppy and the coca plant.

There is a wide statutory definition of cultivation (s.70(1)). To cultivate includes to sow, plant, grow, tend, graft, divide, transplant, nurture or harvest a narcotic plant. A single one of those acts constitutes the offence: to water (nurture) a plant or to harvest one leaf constitutes the act of cultivation for the purposes of the DPCSA.

The prosecution does not need to prove that the offender knew that the plant was a narcotic plant, but it is a defence to not know, suspect or reasonably have been expected to know or suspect that the plant was a narcotic plant (s.72C).

PENALTIES FOR CULTIVATION
If the court is satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the cultivation was not related to trafficking, then the penalty is a fine of not more than 20 pu, or imprisonment of not more than one year, or both (s.72B(a)). In these circumstances, the court also has the option of a bond under section 76(1)(a)(i) (see: "Summary of penalties", below).

The penalty for cultivation where the purpose is related to trafficking is a maximum of 15 years imprisonment or a fine of not more than 1,800 pu (s.72B(b)).

The penalty for the cultivation of a commercial quantity of a narcotic plant is a maximum of 25 years imprisonment (s.72A). A fine of up to 3,000 pu may also be imposed. The prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that that the accused had actual knowledge of the quantity of cannabis alleged to have been cultivated, that is, that the accused knew there were 100 or more plants being cultivated: see R v Van Xuan Bui [2005] VSCA 300.

For a large commercial quantity, the maximum penalty is life imprisonment and a fine of up to 5,000 pu (s.72).

Some states used to allow the cultivation of personal amounts of weed (e.g. WA back in the day and SA to I think?) but AFAIK there isn't currently a state that allows any cultivation.
 
I can't remember the exact laws here, as they're vague, but it's decriminalized here (in SA) and I think it's 1 (or 2) outdoor plant(s) with the maximum fine being $500 or something
My memory is bad and I cbf finding a source

Regarding the Victoria laws, how many plants can you grow before it's no longer considered for "personal use" in a court of law? I'm very curious to find out the maximum number you can grow before it's a commercial quantity.

Was researching Victoria's laws a while back and I found out if you grow using a hydro setup the crime is more severe and it's automatically treated for non-personal use.

We have never had free speech in Australia unfortunately. Bullshit I know. The government are quickly become more parent like by the second. I guess its one of those laws that are not policed much. Like jay walking. But I am sure if having an encounter with them and you drop some of them cussin' words they would add that to the list too.

Crazy world we live in.
 
How to spot the hallmarks of a 'hydro house'

144256-drug-house.jpg


AT a quick glance they look like any other suburban home - red brick with well-kept lawns and maybe even a dog in the yard.

Look a little closer and you will notice that the lights inside are unusually bright, there's a lock on the electricity meter and the dog has a savage disdain for any visitors.

Welcome to a typical southwest Sydney drug house, responsible for the cultivation of thousands of cannabis plants.

NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Field Operations Nick Kaldas said the suburban "hydro house" was of great concern to police - and he called for people to report any suspicious houses in their street or suburb.

"It is disturbing to find these set-ups in quiet residential streets, next door to daycares or schools, near playgrounds or around the corner from shopping centres," Mr Kaldas said.

"Almost all the houses were modified for the sophisticated set-ups and fitted with extremely dangerous - and illegal - electrical bypasses.

"A surge in power or illegal rewiring carried out to bypass the meter can quite easily cause a fire or electrocution, which poses a great risk to the community, especially unsuspecting neighbours."

Police have formed Strike Force Zambesi to combat the cultivation of cannabis across southwest Sydney.

Since it was established in April last year, the strike force has shut down 136 hydroponic set ups and confiscated $53 million in cannabis.

Police have uncovered drug houses spanning Rosehill, Ashfield, Bankstown, Cabramatta, Fairfield, Green Valley and Campbelltown.

They have charged 51 people with 139 offences including drug cultivation, drug possession, fraud and electricity theft.

As well as the large amount of cannabis, officers have confiscated and destroyed hydroponic, electrical and lighting equipment as well as chemicals.

Some things to look for if you suspect a drug house in your area include increased security measures such as roller shutters, fences, guard dogs; locks on the electricity meter; condensation on windows; and large amounts of garbage.

Its weird how they do that. I know in WA when cultivation was decriminalised it was specifically non hydroponic, I think SA might have been the first to introduce that clause and everyone else followed suit. I think this info is up to date:

Not sure about Victorian commercial quantities amounts maybe try the state law database over there

Cheers for your replies to the Victorian growing laws thread that is now in this thread. I really think that Its legal or at
East decriminalised but they haven't told any one.. Just two plants out doors, a policman would not do a thing coz they can't in victoria now. It was on the anti bongs law bill but sneakerly put in
 
Im looking for some information or hard evidence, I'll let you know if I find anything
 
Does anyone have tips for stopping mold growing on your bud?

I had a couple of grams left that has been sitting in a glass jar for about 6 weeks (obviously there was more but its been smoked). anyway, a few days ago I noticed some tiny blue/grey balls kind of suspended on tiny spider web looking things. I take it this is mold? I also guess it is unsafe to smoke after mold appears?

It is definitely unsafe to smoke mouldy Cannabis. We have gone over this many times in CD but the general consensus is that the product is useless and needs to be discarded. If you eat it you will be ingesting mould spores and if you extract it the spores will be in the final product.

If the mould wasn't there when he bought it then it is mould. If the webs were there and visible when he bought it then it is mites but then he wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

It is quite common for mould to take on the appearance of spider webs.
 
I wish I could get some good strains locally, got to try AK-47, Trainwreck, Kandy Kush and Jack Herer at the beginning of year now it's all crap. Herer is probably my fav so far, the Kush knocked me on my ass, talk about extreme paranoia.
