There are a variety of offences involving Drugs under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Offences range from simple possession
to possession for the purpose of trafficking, trafficking in a controlled substance, production of a controlled substance (Grow Op) and various importing and conspiracy offences. A conviction for any of these offences can have a drastic impact on an individual’s liberty and future prospects. Even a conviction for simple possession of marijuana can prevent a person from lawfully entering the USA or travel abroad, attending post secondary education, obtaining employment or even volunteering for charitable organizations.
The more serious offences attract the most significant penalties.
