An Australian man allegedly caught with 7 grams of hashish in Bali has apologised to an Indonesian court, saying he did not realise that those caught with the drug were treated so severely.
"I did not realise it was such a big criminal offence," said Giuseppe Serafino, 48, who says he used cannabis to treat back pain.
He told the court in Denpasar that he was introduced to his dealer by his friend, former Reuters correspondent David Fox.
Asked by one of the judges if he would promise to stop using drugs, Mr Serafino replied, "promise".
