What is a Controlled Substance?
A controlled substance can include any number of drugs—either illicit or prescription—when they are being held or supplied by unauthorised people.
Such drugs can include:
- Cannabis, Heroin, Methylamphetamine, MDMA (Ecstasy), LSD, PCP
- Prescription medications like Valium, Xanax, Oxycodone, Vicodin, and Percocet
Have you been charged with any of the following in relation to a controlled substance?
- Possession
- Cultivation
- Manufacture
- Supply
- Trafficking
- Importation
How Serious are the Charges?
The charges will vary based on the amounts and type of drugs. We will help protect your future thanks to our experience in dealing with cases involving drugs, from possession of a small amount of cannabis right through to trafficking or importing large quantities.
How serious the charges are depends on a number of factors, including:
- The quantity of the substance.
- Where and when the drugs were found.
- How long the offence is said to have been taking place.
- The purpose for which the drugs are said to be used.
All of these factors need to be thoroughly tested to achieve the best result for you.
A criminal record for a drug offence threatens your employment and ability to travel. Contact Tom or Peter immediately to protect your future and secure your rights.
