What are the different types of drug offences?
SIMPLE POSSESSION
Simple possession can be proven when the accused had knowledge and control of the drug.

If you are found in possession of a low-quantity of a drug like marihuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, or heroin (i.e. less than 3.5 g of cocaine) and it is your first offence, you may be able to complete Alternative Measures, a program that is designed address drug use, and avoid a criminal record. It is best to speak to a drug lawyer to determine if you qualify for this program.

PRODUCTION
Production is defined as manufacture and cultivation of substances under the CDSA.

Cultivation includes operating a grow-house, working and helping the plants grow, and involves all stages of the growth process from seed to harvest.

The manufacture of MDMA, methamphetamine, and other drugs, falls under these offences. Depending on the circumstances, there have been cases where the Crown could not prove that the Accused had knowledge of the grow operation of meth lab. Speak to a drug grow operation / meth lab lawyer today.

TRAFFICKING
Trafficking is the controlled or coordinated movement of a drug, from one person to another. Even if you had no intention of making money, you can still be convicted of drug trafficking, simply because you aided or abetted in the movement of the drugs.

Examples of drug trafficking cases include:
Selling drugs to an informant
Sharing drugs with a friend
Helping a friend sell drugs to another friend
“Middle-manning” a drug transaction between the seller and buyer
Giving drugs to a friend to hold
Offering to sell drugs to an undercover police
If you are convicted of a serious drug charge like possession, possession for the purpose of trafficking, or trafficking - this can result in serious, life-changing consequences.

You could be looking at fines, a criminal record, and a possible jail sentence if you are found guilty.

It all depends on:

The circumstances of the offence: how much drugs? What kind?

The circumstances of the offender: age of the offender? Criminal record?
