Does a drug deal constitute trafficking by the purchaser?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from R v Tsekouras, 2015 ONSC 1470 (CanLII):

But if the deal is consummated and the drugs received by the accused under circumstances from which it could be inferred that the accused intended to pass on the drugs to someone else then the sale constitutes trafficking by the purchaser. (Sokoloski v. R., 1977 CanLII 17 (SCC), [1977] 2 S.C.R. 523 @ 534-535)
