What Is Drug Possession?

Drug possession is an offence under section 10 of the Drug Misuse and Trafficking Act 1985 (NSW), carrying a maximum penalty of 2 years’ imprisonment and/or a fine of $2,200. While considered a less serious drug offence, a conviction is recorded on your criminal record. With expert legal representation, a Section 10 dismissal (no conviction) is often achievable.
