Principles

Gravity

There is a distinction made in law between hard drugs (such as cocaine) and soft drugs (such as marijuana).[1]

The societal costs of drug abuse and trafficking are significant.[2] They include the effects on health care, lost productivity and financial loss due to enforcement.

Many courts have spoken to the societal harm of drug trafficking.[3] Trafficking and use of cocaine has a close connection with violent crime.[4]

Schedule I drugs, including cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines, are "highly addictive and inflict great harm on individuals and society. Trafficking in these drugs is rightly considered a serious offence."[5]

When dealing with Schedule I drugs including cocaine, the emphasis must be on dedication and general deterrence.[6]

The destructive nature of methamphetamines “mirror those of two other hard drugs, heroin and cocaine”.[7]

MDMA/Ecstacy

This drug is usually in pill or capsule form, not powder.[8]

MDMA is a "dangerous drug that can be toxic and cause long-term central nervous disorders."[9]

Other characteristics of MDMA include:[10]

  1. It is a drug frequently used by young people at large crowded dance parties called "raves" and is used to postpone fatigue and allow the user to dance for hours and have feelings of euphoria;
  2. It's most consistent physiological effect is the induction of hypothermia [the elevation of the core body temperature] that can lead to heat stroke, and in some reported cases, death. This effect is exacerbated in the rave setting;
  3. Ecstasy is referred to as a "designer drug" because it is a combination of synthetic substances to create a "blend of amphetamine-like and mescaline-like effects;"
  4. Ecstasy can be produced by those who have working knowledge of organic chemistry and is usually sold in a tablet form. Because it can be produced so easily, one of the dangers is that the actual composition of ecstasy tablets can vary greatly and the user cannot know what is being consumed;
  5. Ecstasy can be toxic and slow to leave the system and has been known to cause liver damage, serious irregularities of heart rhythm, elevated blood pressure, swelling of the brain leading to convulsions and long-term central nervous system effects such as depression, paranoia and panic disorders;
  6. There is no conclusive evidence that ecstasy is addictive;
  7. In addition, expert evidence tendered during the appeal hearing by a senior police officer confirmed that ecstasy is not connected with other crimes that are often committed to obtain funds to fuel addictions, such as robbery and break and enters.
Fentanyl

Fentanyl is considered one of the "most highly addictive and dangerous drugs" and so objectives in sentencing should focus on general deterrence and denunciation.[11]

The drug is 20 times more powerful that heroin.[12]

There is an elevated chance of fatal overdose.[13]

It is one of the main reasons for there being an opiate epidemic.[14]

Disposition

Trafficking in cocaine is typically a jail sentence. [15] This is particularly true in "dial-a-dope" schemes which are a form of commercial trafficking.[16] Even first time offenders should expect a “significant” penitentiary sentence.[17]

Exceptional Circumstances

It has been suggested that only in "exceptional circumstances" should a sentence be outside of the normal range of jail.[18] These circumstances can take the form of the existence of "multiple mitigating factors."[19]

Factors

Smuggling any amount of drugs into a correctional facility is an aggravating factor.[20]

Ranges

Voir également: Drug Trafficking, Schedule I (Sentencing Cases) et Drug Trafficking, Schedule I, Cocaine (Sentencing Cases)
General Ranges

Sentencing ranges vary between provinces.

In Nova Scotia, an appropriate sentence for trafficking of Schedule I substances will range will typically span from 3 to 5 years. As such, conditional sentences are rarely available.[1]

In Saskatchewan, the range is between 18 months to 4 years for trafficking.[2]

In Newfoundland, trafficking in small quantities of cocaine is a sentence in the range of 6 to 18 months.[3]

It is infrequent that it will go below two years[4] and so will virtually guarantee a federal sentence.[5] There is no fixed minimum, however. There is still significant discretion.[6]

However, it is not unreasonable in certain exceptional circumstances to have sentences below two years.[7] The starting point for commercial trafficking in cocaine in small quantities is three years for most provinces.[8]

In Manitoba, there are several recognized levels of trafficking in cocaine:

  1. Low (street dealer): sentences typically start at less than two years and can range up to four years. [9]
  2. Low-Mid (mere courier): sentences for couriers can be between 3 to 6 years.[10]
  3. Mid (more than mere courier of large quantities): sentences typically range from 5 to 8 years if they are an insider, while couriers are in the range of 3 to 6 years.[11]
  4. High: (multi-kilogram trafficker): sentences typically range from 8 to 12 years[12]

It has been further suggested that “a person who traffics in a sophisticated manner at a kilogram level should, absent significant mitigating factors, expect no less a penalty than 10 years' incarceration. It should not matter whether that drug is cocaine or methamphetamine.” [13]

In Ontario, for possession of "a substantial amount of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking" the range is usually 5 to 5.5 years even with a guilty plea and no record.[14]

The Ontario "normal" range for "someone, without a record, convicted of possession for the purpose of trafficking in slightly more than a pound [or 453.59 grams] of cocaine."[15]

Trafficking heroin, even in small amounts, will result in federal sentences absent exceptional circumstances.[16]

Small amounts

In Ontario, the range of sentencing for trafficking in small amounts of crack cocaine is 6 months to 2 years less a day.[17]

Mid-range

Manitoba court has stated that the mid-level drug deal has a range of sentence between 7 to 8 years.[18]

Large amounts of Drugs (1kg+)

The range of sentence for trafficking of cocaine in the amounts of 1 kg or more will typically see sentences in the range of 5 years.[19] Larger amounts upward of 3 kg will attract a range of 6 to 8 years.[20] It has also be articulated as "substantial amounts" of cocaine attracting a range of 5 to 8 years.[21]

In Ontario, a first-time offender convicted for being a courier for large amounts of high-grade heroin should expect a range between 12 and 17 years jail absent "exceptional or extenuating circumstances."[22]

Couriers

The drug couriers' job is to transport drugs and protect their bosses from being detected.[23]

Fentanyl

Low level trafficking should result in a high end provincial sentence at a minimum, or else a low penitentiary sentence.[24] In very exceptional circumstances, the court may consider a suspended sentence..[25]

Generally trafficking in significant amounts of fentanyl should attract a significant penitentiary sentence.[26]

A fentanyl sentence should be equal or greater than if it was cocaine.[27]

Conditional Sentences

Offences occurring before November 20, 2012 may be eligible for a conditional sentence in certain circumstances. Offences after that date are ineligible under s. 742.1 which prohibits conditional sentences for offences under s. 5(2) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.[1]

In Ontario and Newfoundland, the conditional sentence is available for trafficking in only rare cases.[2] Those who are involved in a “dial-a-dope” operation will generally be sentenced to incarceration.[3]

In Saskatchewan, conditional sentences are available for trafficking in hard drugs. The appropriateness of a conditional sentences depends on several factors:[4]

  1. the sophistication and significance of the offence and the accused's place in it;
  2. the type and quantity of drug;
  3. the motivation for the offence: those who traffic to support their own habit may be more likely to receive a restorative disposition than those who traffic for other reasons;
  4. the need for and the utility of the deterrence which will be provided by the sentence imposed;
  5. the factors relating to the community like the significance of the problem; and,
  6. the age, lack of record and other personal circumstances of the accused.

The Code amendments concerning conditional sentences that came into force on November 6, 2012, prohibit conditional sentence for drug trafficking.
