Found this from recently too...Copy of a Press Release in relation to new drug laws published by Melbourne Criminal Lawyers :http://melbournecrim...nacea-and-beer/  Last week the QLD government passed the Criminal Law Amendment Bill 2012.  As a result, many harmless chemicals, foodstuffs and herbal medicines were inadvertently banned including the popular cold and flu herb, Echinacea; the popular sleep tonic, Tryptophan; saffron; chocolate and even the unthinkable – alcohol.The new laws state that if the ‘intent’ of a substance is to have similar effects to a banned or dangerous drug, the substance virtually becomes the drug.Eros (The Adults Only Association) CEO, Fiona Patten said that the science of pharmacology examined which receptors a substance binds to in the body. By matching the receptor-binding qualities of commonly used substances with the receptor-binding qualities of currently scheduled drugs, it was possible to show how the pharmacological analogy laws would capture many legal compounds.“Alcohol [ethanol] is a GABAa agonist”, she said. “Under these new laws it will arguably become illegal because several illegal drugs are also GABAa agonists. These illegal drugs include muscimol and barbiturates.”Other alcohols such as methanol [racing car fuel], isopropyl alcohol [rubbing alcohol], and butanol [common industrial solvent] are all GABAa agonists and would all fall under the same pharmacological profile as muscimol and barbiturates.“PEA [phenethylamine] is the ‘love drug’ in chocolate. It is a noradrenaline and dopamine agonist just like amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDA and cocaine. Will the Queensland police now start raiding chocolate shops because under these new laws they will have every right to”.“Saffron [the common spice] contains safranal which is a serotonin agonist and crocin which is a dopamine agonist. The illegal drug MDMA [ecstacy] is also a serotonin & dopamine agonist. Under these new laws a magistrate will be able to find an Asian grocery store guilty of a drug offence using the same logic and laws that they convict Ecstasy dealers.”“These new laws catch up a host of commonly used products in herbal medicine that are found in most health food stores. Any analogue of the chemical 5HTP is now automatically illegal’, she said. ‘5HTP is a simple derivative of the amino acid tryptophan which is in almost all protein containing foods and will be well known to hundreds of thousands of people who use L-Tryptophan to get to sleep at night. It has no abuse potential and has no precursor potential. Banning this substance shows the Queensland government to be completely incompetent in their understanding of what is a dangerous drug. 5HTP is in every human brain because it is the essential biosynthetic pathway from tryptophan to the neurotransmitter serotonin. The body can’t make serotonin any other way.’“Skullcap [Scutellaria lateriflora] is a common herb used in herbalism, and also a common garden herb. It contains flavones that are GABAa agonists and hence have the same pharmacology as muscimol and barbiturates.”“Hordenine is an alkloid in barley and especially in beer. It is a noradrenaline and dopamine agonist. The illegal drugs amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDA and cocaine are also typical dopamine agonists.”“Tyramine is an alkaloid present in fermented and aged foods such as cheese, salami, and beer. It is a noradrenaline and dopamine agonist just like amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDA and cocaine.”Ms Patten said that her association had lobbied the Queensland government in Committee hearings not to go ahead with the new laws, saying that there were many unintended consequences to them. The Queensland Law Society had argued a similar line. The final definition in the new laws appears to say that the pharmacological similarity has to be ‘substantial’ however ‘substantial’ is never defined and most police officers would err on the conservative side and take any similarity as prima facie evidence of a crime.She said that the government had created a law that gave an inert substance, human attributes. ‘To say that a drug or a chemical or substance can possess an ‘intent’ to mimic something else is to ascribe powers to that substance that even kindergarten children would know is impossible’, she said.“With these new laws the Queensland government is trying to legislate people’s ‘conduct’ and not the prescribing of particular dangerous drugs”, she said. “They are the desperate actions of a Nanny State intent on forcing Queensland’s moral compass back to the Victorian era and they will have unintended consequences for the Premier and the Attorney General as well as the general population”.She said that the young and inexperienced Qld Attorney General, Jarrod Bleijie, had gone against expert evidence in Committee to force the new laws through. He had considered many of the substances listed in the Regulations as dangerous, when clearly they were not. ‘Not only has he outlawed herbal cold and flu remedies but they have potentially banned any number of household foodstuffs and other products’, she said. ‘Laws like this that allow the police to enter people’s homes and prosecute them for harmless substances in the kitchen cupboard or on the bathroom shelf are frightening and indicative of an extremist agenda’.UPDATE BY BILL DOOGUEAs Criminal Lawyers we believe this is an important issue for people to be aware of. Governments are trying to make what are currently legal highs illegal. They are trying to change criminal laws to criminalize broad categories. Previously they had found a product and then specifically made it illegal which was a much better system although still flawed. If you want to read further about drug laws in Victoria go to our  website http://www.criminal-lawyers.com.au/

Damn I thought we could make them feel foolish by pointing out what they have just made illegal and just how ridiculous this law is, turns out they already know they just don't care.

If I were you myco I would be ringing around to see if any lawyers will take on your case pro bono. This case might become a high profile case since its the first case to be tried under there new laws. You might get lucky and find a lawyer who will jump at the opportunity to make a name for himself.


I just typed pro bono into Google and the second result was a website dedicated to lawyers working pro bono

Who ever you choose Myco make sure they specialize in criminal law, preferably with a history of successful wins for drug crimes.

No good having a lawyer who spends all day working white collar crimes or traffic tickets no matter what his track record is for wins in court.

Considering the evidence they have I think aiming for Drug Diversion would be the logical path if its available.
One has to admit guilt but a 2hr course and 3-6 months good behavior later and its all behind you, no conviction recorded.

For some perspective I watched a string of Request/Referral for Drug Diversion cases heard in a row while I was there and some of them were surprisingly serious yet none of them were rejected.

Thing there is, you have to plead 'guilty' and they are only supposed to give it to you if you have a drug use problem however that admission comes from you not them, so its all in the wording of your defense/submission.

Another thing to consider is that your image means a lot in court, so anything you can start doing NOW to show that you're an otherwise upstanding, respectful, giving, law abiding member of the community will go a long way to helping you out.

Things like volunteer work at you local youth club, retirement home, drug rehab, whatever., and I am sure signing up with your local cactus and succulent society wouldn't hurt either.

(I was going to send this as a PM but thought that this thread and its info could be useful for people in a similar situation in future so have edited it and posted it here instead.)

I think it would be only fair to point out a general tendency in formation of a cactus collection:

• at first there is initial accumulation of casual plants, rather chaotic and unsystematic;
• then, as a grower becomes aware of his interest and gains knowledge in the process of association with fellow cactophiles, his collection is often enriched by mature plants;
• after some unavoidable errors in caring for his plants and acquisition of special literature, the grower starts showing preference for particular genera and some favourite species – that is the point when the hobby turns into a new unhurried phase of qualitative and quantitative perfection of collection.
