Possession and Cultivation

Drug possession and cultivation are distinct offences under the criminal law. Although possession may be considered the most minor of drug offences, all drug crimes carry serious penalties and a conviction will stay with you throughout your life.

Cynthia Fromstein Barristers is a firm of experienced Toronto criminal defence lawyers with the strategic legal skill to effectively defend clients. Our lawyers are adept at weakening the Crown's case against our clients and upholding the constitutional rights of the accused.

Possession

In order to be convicted of drug possession, the Crown must prove you had control of the drug in question, and that you knew it was in your possession. The type of drug and the amount matters: possession of a small amount of marijuana holds a lower maximum potential sentence than other kinds of drugs, and than larger amounts of cannabis. Possession for the purpose of trafficking is a more serious offence.

Cultivation/Grow Operations

Cultivation, growing or producing a controlled substance, whether in a meth lab or a marijuana grow-operation, is a serious offence that holds the possibility of prison time upon conviction. A skilled and experienced criminal defence lawyer can effectively defend against charges of cultivation.
