HILLIER medicinal cannabis advocate Jenny Hallam (pictured) has urged her supporters “not to give up” the fight to legalise medicinal cannabis oil as she prepares to be sentenced for drug charges in November.

Ms Hallam, 46, faced the Adelaide District Court on Tuesday to make submissions relating to her sentencing for four counts of drug manufacturing and possession charges dating back to a raid on her Hillier home in January 2017.

She initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, but in February she announced she would change her plea to guilty in a video posted on her Facebook page.

In court, Ms Hallam learned she would be sentenced in the District Court on November 7.

In another Facebook video on Monday night, Ms Hallam hoped to be a free woman after the judge handed down her sentence next month.

“We’re going to put all our hope into (the fact) that the judge has seen that this was done for the right reasons, and he will give me the same compassion that I gave the people that I helped,” she  said.

“I didn’t want to break the law, but people were desperate, and sometimes you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.

“It’s been a long road, 1006 days it’s actually been since my raid, 1006 days since I’ve been waiting to see what will happen.

“Either way, I will still be here, I’ll still be upright and I’ll still be fighting for what’s right.”

Police raided Ms Hallam’s Hillier home and seized drug chemicals and equipment in 2017, before she was reported for one count of possessing and one count of manufacturing a controlled drug.

The charges were doubled from two to four in March of last year.

Ms Hallam had been manufacturing and supplying medicinal cannabis oil to the terminally ill free of charge after using it herself to deal with chronic pain.

She could be sentenced to a maximum of seven years in prison, a $35,000 fine, or both for each manufacturing charge, while each possession charge comes with a maximum sentence of two years jail, a $2000 fine, or both.
