Charged with a Methamphetamine Offence in Western Australia?
Methamphetamine (meth or ice) offences are treated extremely seriously in Western Australia, and the penalties for trafficking, manufacturing, or large-scale supply can be severe. Even possession of a small quantity of methamphetamine is a criminal offence. If you have been charged with a meth-related offence, you need experienced criminal defence lawyers on your side immediately. At Kate King Legal, our Perth drug lawyers have extensive experience defending clients against a wide range of methamphetamine charges.
Types of Methamphetamine Offences Under WA Law
Methamphetamine is a Schedule 9 prohibited drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1981 (WA). Offences involving methamphetamine are prosecuted under that Act and, in some cases, under the Criminal Code Act Compilation Act 1913 (WA). Common charges include:
- Possession of Methamphetamine (s.6 Misuse of Drugs Act 1981)
- Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Supply (s.6(1)(a) Misuse of Drugs Act 1981)
- Drug Trafficking — Methamphetamine (s.6 Misuse of Drugs Act 1981)
- Manufacturing or Producing Methamphetamine (s.7 Misuse of Drugs Act 1981)
- Supplying Methamphetamine to a Child or Near a School
- Conspiracy to Traffic or Manufacture Methamphetamine
The charge you face will depend on the quantity of methamphetamine involved, your alleged role, and any prior drug history. Our lawyers will advise you on your position from the very first contact and begin preparing your defence immediately.
What Penalties Could You Face?
Penalties for methamphetamine offences in WA are among the most serious for any drug offence, and can include lengthy terms of imprisonment for possession, supply, trafficking, and manufacturing offences, with the maximum penalty depending on the specific charge. Aggravating factors such as large quantities, supply to children, or offending near a school can increase the severity of the penalty significantly. At Kate King Legal, our lawyers will carefully assess every aspect of your matter and pursue the best available outcome.
Your Defence Options
Methamphetamine charges are often built on search and seizure evidence, phone records, surveillance, and informant evidence. Depending on the circumstances, defences may include challenging the lawfulness of the search or surveillance, disputing your knowledge or possession of the drug, challenging the chain of custody of the evidence, or establishing that any drug was for personal use. Where the quantity alleged overstates the actual amount, this can also be challenged. At Kate King Legal, we take a rigorous, evidence-led approach to every meth matter and leave nothing unchallenged.
