In 2017 it was 500g and it may be considered commercial.
500g includes plants, buds, trim.
Virtually any biomass including roots.
Easy go over 500g then.
They don't seem to enforce it from what I can gather. On a case by case basis I believe.
So I'm guessing a genuine "growing for headstash" grower should get away with a fine and probably conviction not recorded as long as no signs of commercial are present.
I know a bloke that had 2 tents with maybe 8-12 plants all up. Genuine patient. They marked him down for 451g.
Day in court, $2k fine, conviction not recorded.
Had genuine medical issues and was pretty sick in court and due to the stress he couldn't walk very well so used his wheelchair.
"Still illegal" the judge said apparently.
Makes my blood boil.
Ok for the government to allow commercial growing but not the common man.
By the way,the same bloke is on medical now and he has shared quite a few different batches of flower he has got.
Fucking all shit in my opinion. He reckons so too.
I realise some here have had good experiences on the medical but I reckon good strain grown well especially in a living soil beats all.
