Alexandra Moss, 28, has been jailed for up to four years and four months after dealing illegal drugs from her one-bedroom rental unit in Rose Bay in March and April 2021.

She was convicted Friday in Downing Center District Court after pleading guilty to commercial overdose of 25 liters of the banned drug gamma-butyrolactone (GBL).

Claiming she is wealthy and an “heir” because of her family connections could also put her at risk in prison.

Moss sold drugs and took clients as sex workers, furthering her habit as a “very ingrained drug user” who took up to $1,500 worth of cocaine daily.

Cocaine was used as a form of self-medication to calm ADHD, which was untreated at the time.

“It was a form of self-medication that destroyed her dignity, destroyed her self-esteem, destroyed her career prospects, and led her to very degrading living conditions,” the barrister told the court. rice field.
