Criminal offences in relation to Class A drugs are considered to be very serious, carrying the possible sentence of life imprisonment upon conviction, depending on the circumstances. You may also receive an unlimited fine.

Although many of these substances are generally considered to be less dangerous than the Class A drugs, the penalties may still be life-changing for the whole family. Upon conviction of a drugs offence in this category, you may be handed a prison sentence of up to 14 years, as well as a fine.
