Okay, there's plenty of info in other drugs with regards to ordering research chems, legality, etc, but i would like to know of any experiences, problems, etc that anyone has had specifically realting to an Australian experience. i've read erowid, and the info is sketchy, with "informants" sounding like they don't have a comprehensive legal knowledge - which, in the end, will be the thing that will be important if shit hits the fan.
Feel free to provide any information/experiences as well, maybe we could even get a FAQ for all the Australian psychonauts.
Now looking at the legality of it all, (being a law student), i'm sitting here with my Criminal Code QLD (which perthies, your code is based on as well, most states are relatively similar) and i don't see any express mention of (not naming names) several of the available psychadelic compounds. Therefore that rules out possession, supply, etc at a state level? correct? wrong?
That leaves the federal Customs Act s233B which covers importation, supply and holding imported chemicals which are schedule, which they are (in analogues lists and all that - a few refs on BL to these are around). Now the thing that got my attention, is this quote from scetion 233B(1A) which states, for importation.. "but it is a defence if the person proves that he did not know that the goods (gap - my edit) had been imported into Australia in contravention of this Act"
So, assuming someone does get caught importing certain things, is it a complete defence to plead ignorance? smart pills - not psychadelic hallucinagens? hopefully ISP numbers wouldn't be traced back to BL
.
So i guess my real question is this, if you have used research chems in australia, without trouble, how did you import them, did you get any (professional) legal advice, did they rock, etc.
[edit - email addy removed]
ok, thanks for your time, i hope i get some responses.
