​

What are drug offences?

​

For an offence to occur, the drug must be a controlled drug.  There are many controlled drugs, and the below list is not exhaustive:

• Class A: Crack cocaine, cocaine, ecstasy (MDMA), heroin, LSD, magic mushrooms, methadone, methamphetamine (crystal meth)

• Class B: Amphetamines, barbiturates, cannabis, codeine, ketamine, methylphenidate (Ritalin), synthetic cannabinoids, synthetic cathinones (for example mephedrone, methoxetamine)

• Class C drugs: Anabolic steroids, benzodiazepines (diazepam), gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), piperazines (BZP), khat

​​

There is a wide range of drug offences. These include:

• Possession offences: You possess a controlled drug or you possess with intent to supply a controlled drug to another;

• Supply offences: Supplying a controlled drug, being concerned in a supply, offering to supply or being concerned in an offer to supply;

• Importation (or exportation) of a controlled drug which is prohibited or restricted;

• Fraudulent evasion of a prohibition by bringing into or taking out of the UK a controlled drug

• Production offence: For example if you grow cannabis, or if you produce a controlled dug, this is likely to amount to a production offence;

• You could also face criminal proceedings if you permit premises under your control to be used to produce a controlled drug.

​​

Will I be prosecuted for a drug offence?

​

This will depend on a number of factors. The Crown Prosecution Service will need to decide if it is in the general public interest to prosecute you, and whether there is a realistic prospect of conviction.

​

What sentence will I get if I am facing drug charges?

​

If you are convicted, the sentence will you get will be decided by the court using the Sentencing Guidelines [https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/Drug-offences-definitive-guideline-Web.pdf ]. A sentence for the same offence could range from a simple fine to many years in prison.

​

For example, if you are found in possession of a controlled drug of Class A, you could face up to 7 years in custody, an unlimited fine, or both.

​

It is vital therefore that if you are facing drug charges you get the correct advice at the earliest possible stage.
