  2. Supply and trafficking: Offences related to the supply, manufacture, or trafficking of illicit drugs carry severe penalties, with the severity increasing based on the quantity and type of drug involved.
  3. Drug premises: It is an offence to knowingly allow premises to be used for the purpose of manufacturing, supplying, or consuming illicit drugs.
  4. Drug paraphernalia: Possessing equipment or materials used for the administration, manufacture, or cultivation of illicit drugs can also constitute an offence.
  5. Diversion programs: In certain cases, individuals charged with minor drug offences may be eligible for diversion programs, such as counselling or treatment, as an alternative to criminal prosecution.
