Cannabis AND utensils.

Should be mandatory jail time for possession of utensils.

I get the impression this isn't a mainstream news site... notwithstanding the name of "stuff," that is an extraordinarily crappy article.

I always wish there was more information on amounts of drugs in articles like this. "A small amount" is hardly descriptive of anything. It also says including drugs coming from SR and a similar site as part of the indictment, which leads me to believe he had other drug charges and not just ones he bought via DNM.

I got the impression he was a pot dealer and that was the more serious part of the offense. However, writing about the sneaky underground world of darknet is far more sensational, the article is written bent toward that aspect. The list of charges has fewer than half pertaining to the imported meth and LSD, but nearly every paragraph has "Silk Road" in it, with the standard-issue poor description of what DNM are. Ugh.

Hmm...wonder how he got caught. I'm surprised they fucked with him over small amounts. Doesn't NZ have pretty strict customs like Australia?

Should have got a better lawyer.
