Drug Possession Charges – What You Need to Know
What is Drug Possession?
You can be charged with drug possession if you knowingly have a prohibited drug under your control, even if it’s not physically on you, and even if it’s not yours. Control may be sole or shared, and you must have the ability to exclude others from access to the drug.
You may be charged whether you were using the drug or not.

Supplying a Prohibited Drug – Expert Legal Defence
Supplying drugs is one of the most serious drug offences in NSW, with penalties ranging from fines to life imprisonment, depending on the quantity and type of drug involved.
What is Drug Supply?
The legal definition of supply is broad and includes:
- Selling or giving drugs to someone else
- Helping a friend get drugs
- Sharing drugs with friends, even without payment
- Holding drugs intended for future supply
Even a small, one-time action can lead to a serious charge.
Deemed Supply – What It Means
If you’re found in possession of more than the trafficable quantity, you may be charged with deemed supply, even without evidence of actual supply. However, our lawyers are often able to negotiate a downgrade to a possession charge if the drugs were for personal use.
Serious Drug Charges We Defend
Cultivation & Manufacture of Prohibited Drugs
- Cultivation: Growing prohibited plants such as cannabis
- Manufacture: Any non-growing process used to create a prohibited drug
Penalties can include significant fines or even life imprisonment.
Importation of Drugs
Drug importation is a Commonwealth offence and often involves complex evidence. We focus on:
- Challenging identification and surveillance evidence
- Exposing weaknesses in the prosecution’s case
- Preparing tailored defence strategies to beat the charge or mitigate penalties

Allowing Use of Property as a Drug Premises
It is a criminal offence for an owner or occupier to allow their premises to be used for drug manufacturing or supply. These cases can be complex, especially when the owner doesn’t reside on the property. Our lawyers are experienced in defending such cases and challenging the prosecution’s burden of proof.
Bail for Drug Offences – We Get You Home
Being refused bail means waiting in prison while your case proceeds — often for months or even years. That’s why bail applications are critical.
We regularly appear in high-stakes bail hearings for serious drug offences and have an excellent record of getting clients released.

- The legal requirements for bail
- The supporting documentation needed
- How to present your case for the best chance of success
