Being charged with a drug offence in Queensland carries severe penalties, ranging from mandatory drug diversion programs for minor possession, through to 25 years to life imprisonment for commercial trafficking.
Types of Drug Charges
- Possession of Dangerous Drugs: Whether it is cannabis, MDMA, or methylamphetamine, Queensland treats possession seriously. We negotiate with police regarding possession amounts and apply for drug diversion or Good Behaviour Bonds where eligible.
- Supplying Dangerous Drugs: Supplying drugs, even sharing them with a friend for free, carries significant penalties, potentially including actual imprisonment.
- Trafficking & Producing: The most serious drug offences. We offer aggressive representation in the Supreme Court, scrutinizing police telecommunications intercepts and surveillance evidence.
