What’s at Stake With a Drug Charge

Drug charges in Canada are serious. Even “minor” charges like possession of a controlled substance can carry real, lasting consequences:

  • Jail or probation

  • A permanent criminal record

  • Lost job or professional license

  • Border issues or denied entry into the U.S.

  • Public embarrassment and personal stress

The penalties for more serious drug offences — like trafficking, importing, or drug production — are even greater. Many come with mandatory minimum sentences.

Types of Drug Charges We Can Help With

Bobby Russon is a criminal defence lawyer who regularly defends clients charged with drug offences in Windsor, including:

  • Simple Possession
    Caught with a small amount for personal use? A first-time drug offence still puts you at risk of getting a criminal record — even if it’s marijuana or a prescription drug.

  • Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking
    Police often lay this charge based on quantity or packaging — even if there’s no actual proof of selling drugs.

  • Drug Trafficking and Distribution
    Selling or giving drugs to someone — even once — can result in serious drug trafficking charges.

  • Drug Production and Cultivation
    Grow-ops and drug labs (including marijuana production) can trigger drug manufacturing charges and the loss of your property.

  • Importing and Exporting
    Border-related offences involve the RCMP or CBSA and usually carry automatic jail sentences.

  • Prescription Drug Charges
    Misuse, trafficking, or illegal possession of opioids or stimulants (like Percocet, OxyContin, or Adderall) can also lead to a conviction.

How a Criminal Lawyer Helps With Drug Charges

Here’s how Bobby Russon builds strong defences for drug charges in Canada:

  • Challenge illegal searches, wiretaps, and surveillance

  • Review warrants for errors or overreach

  • Push the Crown to withdraw, stay, or reduce charges

  • Apply for diversion programs or treatment options

  • Negotiate for the best possible result — including avoiding jail or a criminal record

Every case is different. But with the right defence strategy, many clients facing serious drug charges have walked away with no conviction.

📞 Don’t face this alone — Bobby Russon can help.


What To Do After Being Charged With a Drug Offence

  1. Don’t plead guilty without speaking to a criminal lawyer who understands drug offences.

  2. Write down everything — who, what, when, and where.

  3. Get legal advice quickly — timing is critical.

  4. Ask about alternatives — like a drug diversion program or community-based resolution.

🕒 The earlier you act, the more options you may have.


🔍 Real Example: What’s Possible in a Criminal Case

Not every drug case ends in a conviction. Here's an example of what can happen when the defence challenges the evidence:

In R. v. Harrison (2009), police pulled over a driver without proper legal grounds and found cocaine in the vehicle. The defence argued the search violated the Charter of Rights. The Supreme Court agreed, and the evidence was excluded. The drug charges were dropped.

It shows what’s possible when the right legal strategy is in place and the case is properly examined.


💬 What People Say About Using a Criminal Lawyer

“If I hadn’t called a lawyer, I would’ve taken a guilty plea and ended up with a record. My lawyer spotted serious problems with the case. Charges withdrawn.”
– CBC News interview, Ontario drug case

🔍 Ask the right questions before making any decisions.


FAQs About Drug Charges in Canada

What happens if I plead guilty without a lawyer?
You may face jail, a criminal record, or restrictions on your future — even if defences or alternatives were available.

Can a criminal lawyer get my drug charges dropped?
Yes. A strong lawyer may expose illegal police conduct, problems with the warrant, or negotiate a diversion or withdrawal.

Is it worth fighting if I think I’m guilty?
Yes. Even if you feel guilty, there may be Charter breaches or legal defences that can change the outcome.

Will I get a criminal record for simple possession?
Not always. You may qualify for a first-offender diversion program or resolution that avoids a conviction.

Can I avoid jail for drug trafficking charges?
It depends on the facts — but yes, especially if there are no aggravating factors or if there are Charter violations in how evidence was obtained.
