Please advise as to whether or not I can be arrested for cannabis seeds (that I purchased) being mailed to me, I went to collect my parcel at the mail depot in Goodwood only to find it already opened. I was asked if I knew what was in the parcel, I said it was a training dvd. They opened it in front of me and of course it was cannabis seeds about 15 seeds. The customs officer told me that it’s illegal to import dagga seeds, and I told her I didn’t and that it must’ve been sent to the wrong person because I ordered a training dvd.

Can they arrest me for this?

Thanking you in advance.
