Winnipeg Possession & Trafficking Lawyer

Without the assistance of experienced counsel, drug offences can lead to serious jail or prison sentences. Get a criminal defence lawyer to protect you!

Simple possession, trafficking, and PPT can also have serious implications for employment, immigration, and the ability to travel internationally.

Drug investigations can unfold in a number of different ways - search incident to arrest, traffic stops, search warrants, confidential informants, wiretaps, sniffer dogs, and undercover purchases can all be involved.  Often multiple parties are alleged to be involved.

​Drug defences often involve alleged Constitutional violations of the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure (Section 8) or arbitrary detention (Section 9).

Trafficking cases also heavily rely on expert evidence.

More About Drug Possession and Trafficking Offences

Drug Offences

This criminal law charge relates to an Accused being in possession of illegal substances such as marijuana (in amounts greater than 30 grams), cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, crystal methamphetamine, ecstasy, etc. In order to prove possession, the Crown must prove that the Accused had both knowledge and control over the substance. The charge of trafficking results if the Accused does any of the following: sells, administers, gives, transfers, transports, sends or delivers the controlled substance in question.

Production (Grow-Ops)

Production (Grow-Op) charges involve the production of any drug listed in Schedule I – IV of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.   These offences most often relate to what is commonly referred to as a meth lab or marijuana “grow op”.

Most production offences involving a “meth lab” or “grow op” for instance, usually involve the issuance of a search warrant (the legal basis upon which the Police enter one’s residence, etc.).   Obtaining and executing these warrants is a technical process and errors by police can result in successful challenges – leading to the exclusion of evidence.
