Tasmanian man avoids prison for 97 plant setup

[benn0]

A Tasmanian man who poured more than $10,000 into a “relatively sophisticated” cannabis growing setup has avoided jail, with a Supreme Court judge choosing drug treatment over prison time.

The 37yo pleaded guilty to trafficking 7.06 kilograms of cannabis and cultivating 97 plants at his home.

The cannabis seized had an estimated street value between $23,200 and $52,968, while the 97 plants could have produced product worth between $46,875 and $105,000.

The court was told the man turned to drugs in 2018 when he was injured working as a forklift driver.

He initially used methylamphetamine for pain relief, before switching to cannabis and eventually growing and selling it on a larger scale.

Should have given him a medal and put Tasmanian Botanics in jail instead for selling mouldy garbage to medical patients
