The trafficable quantity for some common drugs are:
Drug | Trafficable qty | Commercial qty | Large Commercial qty | |
Marijuana | 250g | 25kg | 250kg | |
Cocaine | 3g | 250g | 750g | |
Methyl-amphetamine | 3g | 100g | 750g | |
Heroin | 3g | 250g | 750g |
So, if found with 5 grams of cocaine, they would be deemed to be in possession of a trafficable quantity of drugs. This would be seen in court to be prima facie evidence of trafficking. However, it is a rebuttable presumption. If the possesor of the drugs can provide evidence to the court demonstrating that there was no trafficking, it is possible to be found not guilty of trafficking not withstanding the possession of a trafficable quantity of drugs.
