Gregory John Stewart: Geraldton man pleads guilty to manufacturing DMT

A Geraldton man has pleaded guilty to manufacturing the psychedelic drug DMT and will remain on bail.

Gregory John Stewart appeared in Geraldton Magistrates Court on Thursday charged with manufacturing a prohibited drug.

The 37-year-old man pleaded guilty to the charge, with a fast-tracked plea.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Paul Burkinshaw told the court Stewart had acquired the materials to develop the specific drug.

Police detected 272 grams of DMT in a liquid used to make the drug.

The matter has been committed to the District Court for November 16.

A pre-sentence and psychological report will be prepared while the man’s bail has been extended in the same terms.
