Drug possession laws in Alberta prohibit a person from being in possession of illegal substances, such as marijuana, ecstasy, crystal meth, cocaine, etc. Fortunately for many of our respectable clients, to prove possession the Crown’s prosecution team must prove the charged party had both knowledge of the illegal substance and control over that substance.
