ACT Policing’s City Beats team executed a Drug of Dependence Warrant on a home in Narrabundah late this afternoon (Friday, January 20) seizing around 18 mature cannabis plants.
Police were notified by a member of the public who saw the plants hanging over the fence. Police executed the warrant about 3 pm today.
A 26-year-old man from Griffith (Canberra) will be summonsed to appear before the ACT Magistrates Court charged with Cultivating a Controlled Plant.

.That’s a false assertion. There are precedents fort the legalisation/decriminalisation of cannabis in places such as Holland and Portugal where the results appear positive. I think Switzerland has demonstrated something similar with heroin, but I think it’s be much easier just to treat heroin addicts as if they had a mental illness and subject them to compulsory treatment orders if they’re charged with any kind of drug-related crime.
I wasn’t talking about cannabis, although I didn’t make that clear in the paragraph you quoted. I suggest you have a closer look at some of those overseas policies. There is NO magic bullet when it comes to drug laws.
Cannabis legalisation is worth a try in my opinion, but even that will probably never happen.

Once you start getting into the drugs that really do have super serious consequences it gets murkier. I don’t think anyone would want to see a heroin shop open up in Civc.
However, I could imagine a system in which people diagnosed as addicts were treated as having a health problem, in which they could access safe heroin cheaply from a government dispensary. They would also be able to access support services from there.
To me, the main benefits of this system would be that it takes away the heroin market from the crime gangs. If you were a criminal and you knew that once you got a person hooked on heroin they would be able to access it cheaper and safer from the government, why would you push it on them in the first place? My theory is that in the long run you would see a significant drop in heroin addicts, as heroin stopped being pushed by gangs who would realise there is no longer a long term market to be had and therefore no reason to try and get people addicted to your their product.
Just speculation, but it seems reasonable.

It’s a moot point anyway. ‘Hard’ drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, cocaine etc will never be legalised – not in our lifetime anyway.
Put whatever shit you like in your body, but if that happens to be illegal drugs, then deal with the fact it’s illegal, or get off your fat lazy arses and start your own lobby group and try to make a change.
Just for the laughs, I could go into anyones garden on this board and find scheduled 5 plants under ACT law.
As I said in the Kava thread, I have found scheduled 5 plants IN THE GARDEN ON THE AFP HEADQUATERS.

Oh boy, here comes that bullcrap Government propaganda again with absolutely 0 evidence to back it up!
Let me guess as well, MDMA burns holes in your brain, DMT/LSD/Peyote cause people to go crazy and M-Cat is named that way because it makes people turn into Meowing Cats as reported widely by the Media and Government. Right?
Well no….
– Not alot of study has gone into MDMA long term effects, but what human studies there have been show that Ecstasy doesn’t actually have any real long-term side effects even in heavy users and Serotonin receptors completely repaired themselves after one year of non-use.
– DMT is found naturally in the human body, it is believed it is the drug the brain releases to allow us to perceive reality and it’s believed that it is released in very high doses during REM sleep to allow us to perceive dreams. Sadly not alot of study has gone into this due to the illegality of DMT and due to DMT having a half life of mere minutes once released in the human body so it’s very hard to detect and see what it actually does but it has been used for thousands of years without a single case of mental illness or death relating to it.
– LSD, again, no verifiable cases of mental illness, only death recorded was when someone injected themselves with nearly 400mg of the stuff.
– Peyote. Recent studies by Harvard show that regular users of Peyote score far higher mental health and mental aptitude scores than the rest of the community, Though it is also believed that the spiritual and religious ceremonies based also the substance also helped the scores.
– M-Cat is named that way because the drug is called Methcathinone, the whole turning people into cats story was so retarded that I face palmed whenever people told me it in public (which shows that the majority of people actually believe whatever the Government tells them about drugs, no matter how goddamn stupid it is)
Instead of having Moral outrage about small groups of people doing drugs recreationally, where is the moral outrage over the huge amounts of addiction, violence, crime and death relating to Alcohol?
Where is the moral outrage that parents and doctors are giving their children incredibly addictive Amphetamines like Methylphenidate and Dextroamphetamine under the name Ritalin and Adderall to make them study harder?
Oh that’s right, giving people addictive drugs to make people more boring, lifeless, suicidal but productive is perfectly fine!
You hypocritical anti-drug drones who believe whatever crap the Government spouts are the cancer of society that will never let us get proper legislation based on actual reason and scientific data.
How Nicotine, Caffeine, Alcohol, Amphetamines are perfectly legal and widly used and abused by society yet 90% of the illegal scheduled substances have such a low harm score that they are almost harmless if used in moderation is disgusting.

Yeah fair enough since it seems like they’re probably cultivating it for their own use but to call people who called it in scum? At least they’ve reported something that they thought might be wrong…ignorant yes, but scum, really?? I’d call scum the people who sit behind their computers acting all high and mighty and raging on about the real crimes out there….probably hiding behind their curtains when @#$% is happening outside.

As for dealing, where is the proof? They look like they are just supplying themselves if they are outdoor plants, if I have too many Tomatoes does that make me a fruit dealer?

Keep things in perspective.Its not heroin or amphetamine – its a bit of weed (a plant that has been used for thousands of years by humans that has never killed anyone). Your precious Xbox is safe.
It isn’t even being intensively farmed (hydroponically under UV lights) for extra THC and extra higher yields. That means its no stronger than the weed you smoked in the 70s and 80s.

Maybe, because after prohibition, a lot of it was coming in from Canada?
I don’t know either, but it is interesting.
I think you were far too easy giving in on the “opinion” thing Jethro – objective analysis is possible in almost every case, and an objective analysis of the nonsense posted here by the wowsers (OMG! 18 Plants! He’s a drug dealer! People rob houses to buy cannabis therefore it should be banned!) reveals quite plainly that support for prohibition is indeed informed by abject ignorance of the most pitiful witch-burning kind.
Then there’s the small proportion of prohibitionists who make shit up about the health effects – they *might* be ignorant, but they are *certainly* either dishonest or intellectually incompetent.

oh thankyou an intelligent non-emotional response
Dope is a weed and grows like one it is NOT stonger than it was in the 70’s at all, the ways of farming have changed and as some is farmed in controlled (light, heat, moisture & nutrients) environments they are chemically enhanced. When this is done and artificial nutrients are added the toxicology of the plant changes much like GM food. If you grow a plant in the ground and feed it water and the occassional dose of nitrosol you will get a healthy plant that will yield the same quantity and quality of product as it always has. If however you feed it chemical stimulants you will get an appropriate response much like people taking steriods.
Please whether you agree or disagree with the growing & and or use of dope stick to the facts people NOT the facts as dictated by Today Tonight or your local copper who’s only knowledge of this topic is generally what he/she is told at the College and the sole fact that is illegal.
Finally, not that I am an expert, but based on what I can see in the provided photo the individual plant would yield almost nothing of use as it is spindly and all leaf.

Yea all he had to do was bend them over and they would have exposed more of the lower stems to sunlight growing more buds and out of site. lol He’s obviously a dope smoker as they tend to forget little things like that. If you smoke and grow at the same time your asking for trouble.

Dealers, absolutely. People who grow and or use it for private use. I’d disagree.
There are far worse legal things that people get into than a bit of toking.
The dealers only exist because of prohibition and the ignorant nazis who enforce it.
The idea that a “dealer” would be growing a small patch of 18 plants is completely ludicrous. The *last* thing a dealer’s going to have in his backyard is a cannabis plant. I mean, ROTFL, the ignorance! In fact, it’s the usual sort of ignorance you get from people who support this stupid and counter-productive prohibition – every gram of dope this guy gets from his 18 plants is in fact one gram of dope that won’t be bought through the organised crime channels which control most of the trade.

If the guy had one or two plants, most likely no one would care. But 18? It’s not like its for personal use and that much weed attracts the wrong kind of people. If it was my neighbour, I’d probably give him one chance to get rid of it but I’ve got no problem with someone dobbing him in either.

While I think it is a little harsh to dob in the dude (the complex and devious ways he went to producing this crop in secret just smacks of the worst kind of dangerous organized crime…), 18 plants is rather a lot… Surely he had to know the cops would turn up sooner or later. Or as someone said, the chances of someone ripping it off (and your house while they are at it) get pretty big when you can see the plants from space.

The grower in this case has been more than careless: he’s been incompetent.
You can get far more bud (and therefore need to grow far fewer plants) if you hack it down quite short in spring (say, after 5 stem divisions, cut it down to the 3rd. Might depend on the variety of plant you’re growing), then once you’ve had another foot or two of growth, get a piece of chicken wire over your plants and press it down hard to bring all the stemmy growth down into a dense mat. If you get extensive stem growth prior to budding, just repeat the maneuver with another piece of chicken wire. This works because all the “fruit” you’re after is at the apex of each growing node, and these will all be growing straight up out of the chicken wire at this point.
I give these tips from the perspective of a keen amateur horticultor, not as somebody who grows that paticular plant.
What happens to all that cannabis in the police lockup? Do they burn it or what?
It will be hard to claim he wasn’t cultivating them – he’s got nothing else growing in his yard.
