TYPES OF DRUG OFFENCES

In Milton and throughout Canada, drug offences are outlined in the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA). These offences fall into four main categories:

 

  • Possession of a Controlled Substance
  • Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Traffic
  • Trafficking in a Controlled Substance
  • Importing a Controlled Substance

 

Being charged with unlawfully possessing a controlled substance means you are accused of having it for personal use. If facing possession for trafficking charges, it means you are alleged to have intended to sell, share, transport, or distribute the drug to others, often involving a larger quantity discovered by the police. Trafficking charges indicate you are alleged to have sold or distributed drugs, including to undercover officers. Importing drugs involves bringing illegal substances into Canada, which can include substances sent or delivered to you.

 

Parliament classifies controlled substances into various schedules. For example, cocaine, fentanyl, morphine, and opium are considered Schedule 1 substances. Trafficking in Schedule 1 substances carries severe penalties, including lengthy prison terms or even life imprisonment for trafficking or possessing fentanyl or cocaine. Schedule III includes LSD, psilocybin (magic mushrooms), and other hallucinogenic drugs. Being convicted of trafficking or possessing Schedule III substances can result in significant consequences, typically less severe than those for Schedule I substances.

SEARCH WARRANTS

Search warrants are often the basis for drug charges at residences, apartments, condos, storage units, offices, and vehicles. They can also stem from incidental searches of individuals arrested on unrelated grounds. Drug investigations use methods such as wiretapping, tracking of cell phones and vehicles, and obtaining production orders for specific documents and records. Police must adhere to strict legal requirements to acquire warrants and production orders. At Posner, Craig, Stein, our lawyers specialize in challenging the constitutional validity of search warrants, wiretaps, production orders, and other judicial permissions that may infringe on our clients’ privacy rights.
