What is a conspiracy to supply class B drugs?
Conspiracy to supply drugs is an offence relating to the agreement or plan formed between two or more individuals to participate in the unlawful distribution, trafficking, or sale of substances classified as Class B drugs. Class B drugs encompass a range of controlled substances, including:
- Cannabis
- Amphetamines
- Barbiturates
- Ketamine
- Methylphenidate
- Synthetic cathinones (such as mephedrone)
- Synthetic cannabinoids

What are the penalties for conspiracy to supply class B drugs?
If found guilty, the potential sentence for conspiracy to supply Class B drugs will depend on several factors, which include:
- The amount and value of the drugs involved in the offence
- Your role in the conspiracy
If your case is tried in the Magistrates’ Court, the maximum penalty is a fine of up to £5,000, or a maximum imprisonment term of 6 months. However, if your case is heard in the Crown Court, the highest sentence could be 14 years imprisonment or an unlimited fine.
Regardless of whether a conviction is secured, it's important to note that you might still be subjected to a Restraint Order, which could restrict access to your bank accounts and any other assets beyond the amount that you need for your basic living expenses. In the event of a conviction, you might also face an application for a Confiscation Order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (PoCA). Such orders could lead to the confiscation of your assets unless you can demonstrate that they were lawfully obtained.
