How Are Illegal Drugs Classified?

    : These include substances like cocaine, heroin, MDMA (ecstasy) and LSD. The penalties for offences involving Class A drugs are the most severe.
  2. Class B drugs

    : Common class B drugs are cannabis, ketamine and amphetamines. While not as harshly penalised as Class A, offences can still carry significant legal consequences.
  3. Class C drugs

    : Anabolic steroids and some prescription medications like diazepam fall under Class C. These can still lead to fines, community service orders, or even some prison time if not properly represented in court.

Common Questions About Defending Drug Offences

Yes, in some cases, you may be able to claim a defence. For example, if someone else left the drug in your vehicle or home without your knowledge, this could form the basis of your defence. However, proving a lack of knowledge requires a clear and compelling argument.

The penalties for first-time drug offences vary depending on the type of offence and the class of drug involved. For minor offences like simple possession of a Class B or C drug, you may face a fine or caution. However, offences involving Class A drugs or intent to supply can lead to significant prison sentences, even for first-time offenders. We’ll work to mitigate these penalties by presenting a strong case on your behalf.

The timeline for resolving a drug offence case depends on its complexity. Minor cases, such as possession without intent to supply, may be resolved within a few months. More serious charges, like trafficking or conspiracy, can take much longer, especially if they go to trial. Regardless of the timeline, we will ensure you understand every step in the process.
