This site will provide you with everything you need to know about drug offences.

We will provide you with an overview of the kinds of penalties that are imposed in all cases from simple possession of cannabis up to dealing in heroin.

We will discuss with you particular defences to drug cases and we will direct you to all of the related topics so relevant to this particular area of law.

We will give you direct access to the Act and its Amendments.

You need to know what to do if you are going to be interviewed by the Drug Squad.

You need to know what defences are available so that you are extremely careful when you come to give an interview to the Police.    

The first thing to do is to look at the Misuse of Drugs Act and its amendments.

We also provide you with a direct link to the Government legislation site where you can look up ALL Acts of Parliament and Regulations and Rules. An Act is also known as a Statute. A Regulation is also sometimes known as a Rule. This Government legislation site is still going through some teething problems. But you will be able to access all legislation and find specific Acts and Rules and individual sections.

"Is it possible to get a discharge without conviction on a dangerous driving or reckless driving charge? Thanks

Netlaw replies: Yes, it is possible, but very difficult. There would have to be very special reasons like driving in an emergency situation."

"Great to find all this information at my fingertips.
I think that Home Detention is a bit of a sop. Either you go to prison or you do not! I think it is almost like getting off! Mike H - Wellington"

"I was roughly treated at a Police interview. One cop did hit me. It was not that hard but he banged me on the top of the head and yelled that he wanted the truth. It does happen . . not as bad as you see on TV but it does happen. Kevin - North Shore"

"Dear Netlaw . . . it was really helpful to realise the difficultes in getting suppression of name and to get some of the caselaw. It allowed me to prepare a lot better. I had a silly shoplifting case but I am in my early thirties and I really wanted name suppression. You guys really helped. Also, you other sites are dazzling. Becs (not my real name)
