(Rock News Desk) AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd's conviction for possession of cannabis has been lifted after he appealed the ruling.

Rudd, real name Phillip Witscke Rudzevecuis, was fined $250 last year when he pled guilty to the charge of having 25g of the substance on his boat in his home town of Tauranga, New Zealand.
