1970s rocker 'quite proud' of selling marijuana
By STEVE BUTCHER
Wednesday 5 December 2001

A musician with the 1970s Australian glam-rock act Hush and with John Paul Young's band received a suspended jail sentence yesterday for trafficking marijuana.
A Melbourne court heard how Jacques de Jongh, who played bass on Young's hit Love is in the Air, became addicted to marijuana after using it for 30 years.
When police raided his Glen Iris home on June14 this year, they found a bucket containing 400 grams of dried marijuana, $7500 in cash in a piano stool, scales and weights.
The Melbourne Magistrates Court heard that de Jongh, 52, told police he was "quite proud of the service" he provided to clients, which began as a way to finance his habit.

"He was never into the business side of things, which is evident from having no trappings of wealth from trafficking, which went straight back into buying more marijuana for himself,"
LOL thats still business!
 
he he he...
Looking at the figures he was doin' alright tho! Pushing a few pounds a week he was...Calcs to ~2000 pounds all up (by his admission: "De Jongh estimated that he sold 200 grams of marijuana each week for three years")... That's one serious mound of grass! Imagine all stacked up and lit at once...there stones the neighbourhood...
