Possession of Class C Drugs

Understand Your Situation

Class C drugs include Anabolic Steroids, Benzodiazepines (Valium), and Khat. We provide the legal support needed to navigate these specific regulations.

Understanding Class C Offences

The law regarding Class C drugs can be confusing. For example, it is not an offence to possess anabolic steroids for personal use, but it *is* an offence to possess them with intent to supply. However, possessing other Class C drugs like Khat or unprescribed Valium is illegal.

We help clarify your legal position. If you are a bodybuilder accused of supply due to the quantity of steroids you hold, we bring in expert witnesses to explain usage cycles and prove the stash was for personal consumption, defeating the supply charge.

Accused of Supply?

Large quantities for personal use? We prove it wasn't for supply. Call us.

Plan Your Defence

Statutory Details

Class C possession carries a maximum of 2 years imprisonment under the *Misuse of Drugs Act 1971*.

A common issue is the possession of 'prescription-only' medication without a prescription. We examine the chain of evidence and your medical history. If the drugs were obtained legitimately or if you had no knowledge of their illegality (under specific circumstances), we build a robust defence to protect your character.
