The Law

In Western Australia, it is illegal to use, possess, manufacture or supply heroin. Penalties range from a $2,000 fine and/or two years in prison, to a $100,000 fine and/ or imprisonment for 25 years. In addition, any person convicted of a drug offence will receive a criminal record. This can lead to difficulties in getting a job, credit or visas for overseas travel.
