Understanding Drug Charges


Drug charges in Australia can vary greatly, ranging from minor offences to serious criminal acts. Some of the most common types of drug charges include the following.

🌿

Drug Possession

Being found in possession of illegal substances such as cannabis, ecstasy or methamphetamine. Even small amounts can result in criminal charges.

⚖️

Drug Trafficking

Involves the sale or distribution of illegal drugs, and is a much more serious offence carrying heavier penalties.

📦

Drug Supply

Similar to trafficking, but may involve smaller quantities or lesser intent to distribute drugs commercially.

🧪

Drug Manufacturing

Refers to the production or cultivation of illegal drugs, and can include growing cannabis or producing synthetic drugs.

🔍

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Being found with items used to consume or manufacture drugs, such as bongs, pipes or chemical equipment.

No matter the type or severity of the drug charge you are facing, our criminal lawyer Tweed Heads team has the experience and knowledge to guide you through the legal process.
