Possession for the purpose of trafficking means that the accused person intended to sell or transport the substance. The punishment for this offence varies depending on the amount of drugs involved in the case and whether it is considered a first or subsequent offence. If you are charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, you will be facing charges under federal legislation called the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (“CDSA”), not under the Canadian Criminal Code. This means that if charged, you will be dealing with Federal Crown Prosecutors instead of Provincial Crown Prosecutors. Drug offences are listed under federal legislation called the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (“CDSA”). If charged, you will face heavy penalties if convicted.
