In Canada, heroin is classified as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. While the penalties for possession of a Schedule I drug may include fines, jail time and other consequences, the penalties for trafficking a Schedule I drug such as heroin can be even more severe, even if you have no prior convictions.

An individual convicted of trafficking heroin in Ontario could face a lifetime in prison, and anyone accused of this crime should speak with a criminal defence lawyer as soon as possible to develop a detailed strategy for challenging the allegations.

In fact, a person doesn’t have to be arrested while trafficking heroin in order to be charged with drug trafficking. Simply possessing a large quantity of the drug could result in a trafficking charge. This kind of upgrade in charges is typically left to the prosecution’s discretion, so it is important to have a criminal defence lawyer intervene as early as possible to help minimize the consequences of the arrest.
