Charges involving drug production or cultivation are treated seriously by Canadian courts. These cases often trigger mandatory minimums and aggressive prosecution—making early legal intervention critical.
Drug production and cultivation cases often involve complex investigations, search warrants, and forensic evidence. Whether you’ve been charged in connection with a cannabis grow operation, synthetic drug lab, or any form of illegal manufacturing, the consequences can be severe—especially if the Crown alleges trafficking or organized crime links. We assess the legality of the search, the strength of the evidence, and whether the alleged activity meets the legal threshold for production. Our goal is to challenge the Crown’s assumptions, reduce exposure to mandatory sentencing, and pursue all available options for withdrawal, resolution, or acquittal.
