In British Columbia, most people who are found in possession of personal use quantities of illegal drugs will not face charges. But charges should definitely be expected for trafficking or production of illegal drugs, or for larger quantities of illegal drugs.
You may have several possible defences to these sorts of charges. Where you actually in possession? Did you actually produce anything? Did you do anything which amounts to trafficking? And did the police violate any of your rights in the course of the investigation or arrest? These are often highly technical arguments. I will review your case and develop your strongest position.
Sentences for these offences will vary greatly depending upon the circumstances. Factors will include the type of drugs, the quantity of those drugs, the reason for the offence, the background of the offender, and the rehabilitative steps the offender takes following the offence. Avoiding jail will often depend upon a court finding exceptional circumstances. I will develop a plan to advance a finding of exceptional circumstances in your case.
