Includes heroin, methamphetamines (crystal meth), methylenedioxyamphetamine (ecstasy), precursors and equipment, and other controlled drugs and substances.
Note:
Drug offences include possession, trafficking, import/export, and production. Police-reported statistics may be affected by differences in the way police services deal with minor offences. In some instances, police or municipalities might choose to deal with some minor offences using municipal by-laws or provincial provisions rather than Criminal Code provisions. Counts are based on the most serious violation in the incident. One incident may involve multiple violations. Data for specific types of crime are available, in most cases, from 1977. Rates are calculated on the basis of 100,000 population. Percentage changes are based on unrounded rates. Populations are based upon July 1st estimates from Statistics Canada, Demography Division.
