And incorrect. Possession and Supply are very different sentences. From Community Law office.
Possession -
The maximum penalty for possession or use of a Class B drug – like speed (amphetamine), hash (cannabis resin), hash oil (cannabis oil), Ecstasy (MDMA), or pseudoephedrine (used to make P) – is three months’ jail or a maximum fine of $500, or both. (This penalty is the same as for cannabis and other Class C drugs.)
However, if it’s only your first drug offence, you’ll usually just get a fine for possession or use of Class B drugs.
Supply however is -
The maximum penalty for dealing in speed, hash or other Class B drugs is 14 years’ jail.
If you’ve got more than a certain amount of the particular drug in your possession, the law assumes you’re a dealer, and it’s up to you to prove that you’re not a dealer.
The threshold is;
Ecstasy (MDMA) – 5 grams, or 100 flakes, tablets or capsules
Only in special cases will you get less than jail or home detention. But a “suspended” jail sentence may be justified if there’s no commercial element and the quantities are small (here you’re released but if you offend again within the next 12 months you have to come back to court again to be sentenced both for the original offence and the new offence). And in special cases there might be a sentence aimed at breaking addiction by courses of treatment.
Given both current society & government discussion on the 'war against drugs' any sentencing is likely to be at the lower rather than maximum level as is often represented here.
