Our drug possession, importation & trafficking experience is your peace of mind

Drug possession laws in Alberta prohibit the accused from being in possession of illegal and illicit substances like marijuana, ecstasy, crystal meth, cocaine, etc. However, to prove possession, the prosecution must show that the accused person had both control over the substance and knowledge of the illegal substance.

Drug possession penalties, drug importation and trafficking penalties for a criminal conviction can include fines, court-ordered treatment and significant prison sentences if you are found guilty. If you or someone you know wants to avoid a serious trafficking, importation or drug possession penalty, you should contact McGlashan & Mackinnon. We have decades of experience in successfully dismantling the prosecution’s case by scrutinizing the drug possession arrest, the police investigation and the collection of evidence.

The criminal law attorneys at  McGlashan & Mackinnon. have successfully defended clients who have been arrested and accused of illegally possessing such illegal substances as Marijuana, Cocaine, Ecstasy, Methamphetamine, Heroin, Oxy Contin, Pain killers and Illegal prescription drugs.

In every drug possession case, there is a question of whether or not the evidence against you was obtained lawfully. If the police performed an illegal search and seizure, the evidence can’t be used against you. We attempt to undermine the police investigation and prosecution’s case by scrutinizing the following:

• Was a search warrant issued?
• Were the terms of the warrant executed properly?
• Was there probable cause to issue a search warrant
• Was there probable cause to allow a wire tap?
• Is the quality of the evidence against you questionable?
