Drug Offences

There are a number of drug offences which involve controlled drugs. The most common drug offences are as follows:

• Possession of a controlled drug
• Possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply
• Supply of a controlled drug
• Production or cultivation of a controlled drug
• Importation of controlled drugs

The seriousness of the offence not only depends upon the extent of a person’s involvement, such as possession or supply, but also the categorisation of the controlled drug. There are 3 categorisation “classes” ranging from A to C, with class A being the most serious, which could result in life imprisonment.

• Class A – includes Ecstasy, Cocaine, Heroin and Crack Cocaine
• Class B – includes all types of Cannabis, Amphetamines and Benzodiazepines
• Class C – includes Ketamine, Tramadol, Oxycodone and Anabolic Steroids
