Drug-related offences: Criminal Lawyers
Canada stands among the limited number of nations that have embraced more permissive marijuana regulations, permitting its legal use by individuals aged 18 and older. Nevertheless, while marijuana laws have become more lenient, strict regulations continue to govern illegal and controlled substances.
Enforced through the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act (CDSA), this legislation outlaws the trafficking, possession, importation, and production of controlled substances and drugs. Should an individual face charges for drug-related offenses outlined in the CDSA, there is a potential for severe and enduring repercussions. These may encompass extended periods of incarceration, substantial fines, challenges in securing employment prospects, and limitations on travel.
Drug possession involves the unlawful possession of any illicit drugs or substances as categorized by the CDSA. The Act organizes drugs and substances into distinct schedules, categorizing them based on their potential for abuse and dependency. Among these schedules, Schedule I encompasses substances like cocaine, opium, heroin, and select pharmaceutical-grade drugs, which exhibit the highest likelihood of abuse and addiction.

In accordance with the provisions outlined in the CDSA:
- 4 (1) Unless authorized under regulations, no individual shall possess a substance listed in schedule I, II, or III.
It is important to note that drug possession charges are not limited to having the drugs on your person. Charges can still be brought forth if the drugs are concealed within a property, as long as the prosecution can establish your control and awareness of the drugs. This interpretation follows the Criminal Code’s definition of possession, which the CDSA adopts.
Whether you are confronted with drug possession allegations involving substances of utmost seriousness (such as those listed in schedule I) or substances of lesser severity (such as those in schedule III), a successful conviction can result in severe penalties, including imprisonment, even for a first-time offense. This underscores the significance of collaborating with an adept criminal defense lawyer. They possess the ability to assess your case, identify its strengths and weaknesses, and formulate a strategy to achieve the most favorable outcome.
