Kaohsiung District Court judges on Monday issued a suspended sentence and five years’ probation to a man convicted of contravening the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act (毒品危害防制條例) by importing cannabis and cannabis products and imposed a hefty fine.

A Kaohsiung resident surnamed Cheng (鄭) was found to have purchased cannabis products from overseas online 14 times, having the items mailed to his Fongshan District (鳳山) home between January 2016 and April 2017.

After one of the packages was intercepted by authorities, prosecutors conducted a raid of his residence in April 2017, where dried cannabis, cannabis products, an electronic scale and correspondence with cannabis exporters in Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the Czech Republic was found.

Cannabis is classified as a Category 2 narcotic under the act.    [FULL  STORY]
