Drug offenses are defined under various sections of the Criminal Code and encompass illegal activities such as possession, trafficking, production, and distribution of controlled substances.
These offenses involve any actions that breach the legal regulations governing illicit substances. They can range from minor possession for personal use to large-scale drug trafficking or production operations. Each offense carries distinct legal consequences and requires the expertise of a skilled drug crime lawyer.
Drug offenses extend beyond mere consumption and include trafficking, possession, and various forms of production. The most common types of drug offenses are classified based on the nature of the crime and the specific substance involved. These offenses are governed by the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA).
Drug trafficking is one of the most serious criminal offenses in Quebec, carrying complex legal implications and severe penalties. Navigating these charges requires specialized legal expertise. If you are facing drug trafficking allegations, seeking the guidance of an experienced lawyer is crucial to understanding your rights and securing the best possible defense.
Under Section 2(1) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA), drug trafficking involves activities related to substances listed in Schedules I to V. The term “traffic” is legally defined as:
(a) Selling, administering, giving, transferring, transporting, sending, or delivering the substance.
(b) Selling an authorization to obtain the substance.
(c) Offering to engage in any of the above activities, unless authorized by regulations.
It is important to note that an actual sale is not required to be convicted of drug trafficking. Even **sharing** a controlled substance can result in criminal liability under this offense.
A conviction to this type of offense can give rise to a significant term of imprisonment.
Schedule I & II
Imprisonment- For life
Schedule III & V
Imprisonment- Up to 18 months (Crown proceeds summarily) or up to 10 months (Indictment)
Schedule IV
Imprisonment- Up to 1 year (Crown proceeds summarily) or 3 years (Indictment)
