You will need to meet with your lawyer to go over your charges and decide on the best course of action.
The seriousness of drug-related charges depends on several matters, including:

- The circumstances in which the drugs were found;
- The length of time the offence is said to have been taking place;
- The purpose for which the drugs are said to be used.
All of these issues need to be properly analysed to achieve the best result for you.
