10 Drug offences and you I prohibited drugs, use of premises and drug paraphernalia These are short articles about legal issues that may interest you. They are not legal advice. You should always get individual legal advice for your situation. We will talk about drug offences in the next several articles. There are drug offences that you can be charged with under both WA state-based legislation that is applied to Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands and under Commonwealth legislation. First of all, in the first few articles, we will deal with the criminal offences under state-based applied legislation. These are in the Misuse of Drugs Act 1981 (WA)(CI) (we will now call it the Act). The offences are in relation to prohibited drugs. What are prohibited drugs? You will probably have a good idea what drugs are prohibited just by applying your common sense and general knowledge. The Act defines prohibited drugs as drugs of addiction (which is further defined in the Act), drugs specified in the Act s regulations (some examples are anabolic steroids and barbiturates) and drugs in Schedule 1 of the Act. The drugs in Schedule 1 of the Act include heroin and opium, morphine, ecgonine (a substance having a close relationship to cocaine) and cocaine and any preparation of those with certain percentages of each, and any cocaine derivative or cannabis or cannabis resin or any derivative of cannabis. In this article we will talk about offences to do with prohibited drugs, the use of premises and drug paraphernalia. Offences to do with drugs and the use of premises There are a number of offences associated with owning, renting, managing or being in premises associated with prohibited drugs. It is a criminal offence: As an occupier of premises (which means a person in control of premises) to knowingly allow those premises to be used to manufacture (make) or prepare (get ready) a prohibited drug for use, or manufacture, prepare, sell, supply or use a prohibited drug or plant. As an owner, or lessee of premises, to knowingly allow the premises to be used for the purpose of using a prohibited drug or plant. To be knowingly involved in managing premises that are being used in either of the ways above. These 3 offences are called simple offences. This means that they can only be dealt with by the Magistrates Court and not a higher court. Each of these offences can attract a maximum fine of $3,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 3 years. It is also an offence to be found in any place which is actually being used for the purpose of smoking any prohibited drug or plant that is not cannabis. This is also a simple offence and attracts a maximum fine of $2,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 2 years. Offences to do with drug paraphernalia There are a number of offences to do with having drug paraphernalia with a prohibited drug or plant in or on it, or displaying or selling drug paraphernalia. Drug paraphernalia is defined as anything someone makes or alters: to make a prohibited drug or plant, or make it ready to administer (give to) someone, or so that they can smoke or inhale it or ingest it (eat or drink it). to administer (give) a prohibited drug or plant to someone, or so that person can smoke or inhale it or ingest it. Common examples are meth pipes and cannabis bongs. It is a criminal offence to: Display drug paraphernalia in a retail outlet (eg shop, market stall). Sell drug paraphernalia to an adult. Sell drug paraphernalia to a child (anyone under the age of 18 years). Possess drug paraphernalia that has any prohibited drug or plant on or in it. These 4 offences are also simple offences and can only be dealt with by the Magistrates Court. The offences of displaying drug paraphernalia or selling it to an adult can each can attract a maximum fine of $10,000. Selling drug paraphernalia to a child can attract a maximum fine of $24,000 and/or 2 years imprisonment. Possessing drug paraphernalia that has any prohibited drug or plant on or in it attract a maximum fine of $36,000 and/or 3 years imprisonment. In the next article we will deal with offences to do with prohibited plants and in the third article possession, use, selling or supplying prohibited drugs. Annie Gray, Legal Aid WA Page 10

Untuk berpengetahuan yang terlibat dalam mengurusi tempat yang sedang digunakan dalam cara-cara tersebut diatas. 3 kesalahan ini dipanggil pelanggaran simple. Ini bermakna yang mereka hanya boleh diurusi oleh Magistrates Court dan bukan mahkamah tinggi.
