| Man accused of taking marijuana plant to court 01.09.07|ABC NEWS Online A 39-year-old Nimbin man who allegedly tried to take a marijuana plant into a Brisbane court yesterday has faced court today for possessing a dangerous drug. In October last year Peter Till was charged for smoking cannabis in Brisbane's Queen Street Mall. It is alleged when he turned up for his court appearance yesterday to plead not guilty he arrived carrying a marijuana plant and told security officers it was evidence in his case. The plant was confiscated and Till was arrested and held in the watch house overnight. He faced the Brisbane Magistrates Court again this morning charged with possessing a dangerous drug. The 39-year-old was released on bail and will face court again in April. |

What's also dumb about this is that they call marijuana a dangerous drug. I guess laughter and getting the munchies is a serious threat to society ![]() | |

| It's known as "civil disobedience". When the government tries to enforce unjust laws, people willing to go to jail will tweak their noses by flaunting their law-breaking in public. It was very big with Mahatma Gandhi and and the civil rights movement in the 60s.

| Exactly, he wanted to bring the plant, in my opinion, to show the court that cannabis is just a plant, not a deadly drug. This is likely also in a state of Australia where growing a few plants is decriminalized so he likely risks a fine only. "Honest judge, its just a weed, not a dangerous drug, look, its even got such pretty flowers." |

| He should've denied possession of a "dangerous drug"... after all, it's not like weed is dangerous.. |

| Buzzby is right. He knew he would get put in jail right away, but he wanted people to notice what he did. |

| In New South Wales it isn't decriminalized. He'll still probably only get a fine. I think we're past trying to make an example of "criminals" when it's a petty crime like smoking pot.

| This is almost 3 years old. I'm sure he's gotten on with his life by now.
