Class B Drugs Defence Lawyer

Being linked to people involved in supplying Class B drugs does not automatically make you part of a criminal conspiracy. The prosecution must prove that you knowingly agreed to participate in a course of conduct involving the supply of controlled drugs, and that requires evidence of your own involvement rather than association alone.

Our Conspiracy to Supply Class B Drugs Solicitors will examine how the prosecution has connected you to the alleged operation and whether that evidence supports the role attributed to you. 

These cases can become extensive, particularly where several defendants are accused and the prosecution relies on evidence gathered over a long period. Our solicitors will analyse the chronology carefully, distinguish your actions from those of others and challenge assumptions that are not supported by the evidence.

Draycott Browne has more than 25 years of experience defending serious criminal allegations and is recognised by Chambers UK for Crime. Our team also includes solicitors accredited under the Law Society’s Criminal Litigation Accreditation scheme, providing experienced representation in complex and multi-defendant Crown Court proceedings.

Conspiracy to supply Class B drugs can carry significant custodial sentences, with supply offences involving Class B drugs carrying a maximum of 14 years’ imprisonment on indictment. If you have been arrested, interviewed or charged in connection with an alleged Class B drug supply conspiracy, contact our criminal defence team for confidential advice.

What is a conspiracy to supply class B drugs? 

Conspiracy to supply drugs is an offence relating to the agreement or plan formed between two or more individuals to participate in the unlawful distribution, trafficking, or sale of substances classified as Class B drugs. Class B drugs encompass a range of controlled substances, including:

 

  • Cannabis
  • Amphetamines
  • Barbiturates
  • Ketamine
  • Methylphenidate
  • Synthetic cathinones (such as mephedrone)
  • Synthetic cannabinoids

To be charged with conspiracy, it is not actually necessary for the plan to be carried out, or the class B drugs to be supplied; the police only need to suspect that there was a plan or conspiracy in place and can arrest before it is carried out. Our experienced legal team understands the gravity of conspiracy to supply Class B drugs, and we are dedicated to providing expert guidance to anyone facing such charges. We understand that the weight of the case against you relies on the strength of the evidence that you were knowingly involved in a conspiracy. Our team is highly skilled in analysing all of the available evidence relating to a case, and with access to leading experts and analysts, we are frequently able to find flaws in the prosecution’s use of evidence and even discover fresh evidence to support your case.

Our goal is to ensure that your rights are protected throughout the legal process, as we build a robust defence strategy tailored to your unique circumstances. Whatever stage of legal proceedings you are at, our solicitors are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for your case. Your future matters, and we are here to protect your rights whilst helping you to navigate the intricacies of the legal system.

What are the penalties for conspiracy to supply class B drugs? 

If found guilty, the potential sentence for conspiracy to supply Class B drugs will depend on several factors, which include:

 

  • The amount and value of the drugs involved in the offence
  • Your role in the conspiracy

If your case is tried in the Magistrates’ Court, the maximum penalty is a fine of up to £5,000, or a maximum imprisonment term of 6 months. However, if your case is heard in the Crown Court, the highest sentence could be 14 years imprisonment or an unlimited fine.

Regardless of whether a conviction is secured, it's important to note that you might still be subjected to a Restraint Order, which could restrict access to your bank accounts and any other assets beyond the amount that you need for your basic living expenses. In the event of a conviction, you might also face an application for a Confiscation Order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (PoCA). Such orders could lead to the confiscation of your assets unless you can demonstrate that they were lawfully obtained.

How can i fight a conspiracy to supply class B drugs charge?

The way that we will defend you against a conspiracy to supply Class B drugs charge depends on the specific circumstances of your case, and our expert drug offences solicitors can guide you through your options, ensuring all relevant factors are examined.

If you deny any involvement in the case, we will meticulously review the police and prosecution case, pinpointing any weaknesses. We also analyse all of the evidence, including witness statements, mobile records, financial documents, CCTV footage, DNA, and fingerprints to establish your innocence.

If you choose to plead guilty, we will work hard to ensure that you get the fairest sentence possible, and we’ll seek to mitigate the evidence against you. Where possible, we will demonstrate that you played a minor role or had limited involvement in the conspiracy, and we will ensure that the drugs involved in the offence are accurately identified and valued. Both of these strategies can often result in a significantly lowered sentence. Whatever the specifics of the case against you, our serious crime expert solicitors will be able to guide you through the legal process, ensuring that you get the best available outcome.
