Drug Charges Defence
When it comes to Canadian law, there are a variety of charges a person can incur if they are found using or selling drugs like marijuana, ecstasy, heroin, cocaine and others.
These charges include:
- Drug Trafficking – this is when you are found delivering drugs to another person.
- Drug Possession – A charge laid when you are found with an illegal substance.
- Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking – When you are discovered with an illegal substance that you intend to provide to someone else, you can be charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking. This can often be determined by the amount of the substance found to be in an individual’s possession. It is also important to note that the accused must have sold or attempted to sell the substance.
- Drug Cultivation – refers to situations like a grow-op or any building that has been used to cultivate the drugs, most often this is marijuana.
The law divides drugs into different categories and penalties for the crimes depending on whether the illegal substance is listed on Schedule I, II, III or IV.
