Tassie gets serious fast
Cultivation & Trafficking
This is where Tasmania gets strict pretty fast. Trafficking cannabis is an indictable offence, tried in the state Supreme Court. Traffic-able quantities are those that exceed 25 grams of resin or oil, 1 kilogram of plant material, or 20 plants. Trafficking these amounts or more has a 21 year maximum term of imprisonment. Cases of this type generally attract significantly smaller sentences though, even when commercial-level quantities are involved.
Possessing, using, and cultivating an amount lower than this holds a maximum of 50 penalty units and 2 years imprisonment. Selling in smaller quantities has a maximum 100 penalty units and 4 years imprisonment.
In all cases, Tasmanian courts have wide powers to demand forfeiture of property associated with (or gained as a result of) any of these crimes, thanks to the Crime (Confiscation of Profits) Act 1993.
