Drugs Supply & Drug Possession Class A and B

Duncan Lewis Criminal Solicitors – Drug Supply & Drug Possession – Class A and Class B Drugs

Conviction for drugs offences relating to Class A and Class B drugs may rely on the type of drug involved and evidence of intent to supply the substance.

Drugs offences involving Class A drugs – heroin, cocaine, crystal meth, Ecstasy and licensed drugs like Temazepam – carry the heaviest penalties because the substances involved are highly addictive and are potentially damaging to health.

Drugs supply and possession involving Class B drugs like cannabis, ketamine, methadrone and amphetamines may carry less severe penalties for possession – but charges relating to serious crimes such as importation or supply can result in lengthy jail sentences.

Charges for supply and possession commonly involve:

• Possession of a controlled drug
• Possession with intent to supply
• Supplying a controlled drug
• Allowing premises to be used for consumption of controlled drugs.

Charges may also involve supplying a minor with a controlled drug – and in some cases, charges such as manslaughter may apply if supplying a drug results in the death of another person.

Not everyone charged with supply or possession of a controlled drug will be guilty of the charges – and it is vital to take legal advice as soon as possible for offences under the Misuse of Drugs Act and /or the Medicines Act, or if there is a likelihood of police interview under caution.
