Man caught with cannabis plant in court
Tuesday Jan 9 15:32 AEDT
A man caught bringing a cannabis plant into a Brisbane court says he will fight drug charges as part of his long-running campaign to have marijuana legalised.

Peter Till, 39, of Nimbin in northern NSW, appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court charged with possessing a dangerous drug.

Security officers said they seized the 50cm-tall cannabis plant at a screening machine in the Brisbane Magistrates Court's entry foyer on Monday.

Mr Till said the plant was "evidence" for a court appearance.

After the plant was seized, he still faced court on drug charges stemming from his arrest in October last year for smoking a cannabis cigarette in the city's Queen Street Mall.

Despite pleading not guilty, the magistrate found otherwise and fined him $600.

Police then took him into custody before he appeared in court on Tuesday.

He was bailed and is due to face court again on April 10.

Outside court, Till said he had been fined at least 15 times over drug-related offences in Queensland and NSW courts during the past few years.

However, he prided himself on not paying one fine, saying the authorities should legalise cannabis for a raft of reasons, mainly medicinal.

He denied he was asking for trouble bringing the plant into the court.

"I don't give a rats, I believe in it, I know it helps me, right?

"And I can tell you now I believe in it so much if I have to go to jail for it then so be it, I go to jail for it.

"... I know it works I have a quality of life and they're trying to take my quality of life away from me, right?"

BWHAHAHAH HOW FUNNY IS THAT
