The Supreme Court upheld the prison-contraband offence in corrections officer Nathan McIntosh’s cannabis case and rejected his challenge to a three-year prison term. It held that the 1971 drug law had preserved the separate prison rule, but sent the case back to stop two convictions punishing the same act.[1]
