In what circumstances will a defendant be found with a quantity of crack cocaine?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Apan, 2018 ONSC 3862 (CanLII):
In R v. Woolcock, supra, it was noted that crack cocaine is an extremely dangerous and insidious drug with potential to cause a great deal of harm to individuals and to society. (See para 15). In Woolcock, the accused was discovered with 5.3 grams of crack cocaine. In the case before me the substance is powdered, not crack cocaine, but the amount is 51.8 grams of powder, which was packaged in 48 separate bags. While the substance in question is not crack cocaine, I accept the fact that cocaine itself is an addictive substance which contributes to human suffering, misery, increase in crime and the risk of violence which goes along with drug trafficking. While it is not as addictive as crack cocaine, cocaine in any form is a dangerous and addictive drug. Positions of Counsel:
