There are four main categories of serious illicit drug offences in Australia:
1. Trafficking, selling and cultivation
2. Manufacture
3. Importing and exporting
4. Possession
It is crucial to have expert legal representation if you are charged with any drug offence, but especially for a serious one.
Drug offence penalties in Western Australia are based on a range of factors, including the type of offence and the quantity of the illicit drug involved. For example, as described above, there is life imprisonment for a trafficable quantity of methamphetamine and in any other case, a fine of $100,000 or imprisonment for 25 years or both.
An expert criminal lawyer can help to minimise the penalty imposed by conducting a robust defence.
Potential defences for a drug offence include that their offence was related to personal use and possession rather than more serious drug crimes such as trafficking, selling and cultivation, manufacture, or the import and export of the prohibited drug.
