Organising the use of narcotics in any form carried six months to five years in prison under the code operating from 1 January 1986.[1] Serious consequences or dangerous repeat offending raised the term to three to ten years.[1] The 1997 amendment later replaced this organising-use rule with a separate offence in its expanded drug chapter.[2]
