Gday, I live in WA and have been charged with being in possesion of a prohibited drug less than 3gr of cannabis and approximently 5oz of fake weed or synthetic cannibenoids. I have to be in court on the 25 07 2012 how serious is the charge? It was seized on 04/12/2011 at which time it was not illegal I was under the impression it was legal as u can buy it over the counter at shops. I am very concerned of having this on my record preventing me from future employment and moving out of the country. I was charged with 8 counts and don't know weither to pled guilty or not guilty. Is this a felony or less? Should i retain a lawyer or just plead guilty again I don't want this on my record. Thank you for your response. J
Good Evening
8 misuse of drugs act 1981 section 6[2] It aslo says these substances are listed in Appendix A in section 9 of the Poison Act 1964, therefore considered "drugs of addiction" under s4 of the misuse of drugs act 1981. I am thinking of pleading guilty and asking for it not to be put on my record as it is a first offense. Is that offer only available at the beginning of a court case I have a clean record and was addicted and have not touched the stuff since I got in trouble.
Do you have any similar convictions on your record?
