Drug Offences

A large number of plants and drugs are prohibited by law in Victoria. They include artificially manufactured drugs and natural substances such as heroin, cocaine, cannabis, ecstasy, ice and amphetamines.

If you are charged with a drug related matter its seriousness will depend on the quantity of drugs or plants seized and the period of time which the offences span.

If charged with a drug related matter the issues that should be explored are:

  • Was the substance a Prohibited Drug?
  • Did the person charged have physical control over the substance?
  • Did the person have knowledge of the substance in their possession?
