What does Conspiracy to supply drugs mean?
Conspiracy to supply drugs is when two or more people agree together to sell or supply a controlled substance.- — typically the supply, importation, production, or distribution of controlled substances. It does not matter whether the sale or supply actually takes place. Charges can be laid if the intention to supply can be shown.
Under the Criminal Law Act 1977 and the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, the prosecution must prove that:
- There was an agreement to commit a drug offence; and
- You knowingly took part in that agreement.
These cases often rely on indirect evidence — such as text messages, phone taps, surveillance footage, or association with known individuals. That’s why defending these cases requires a solicitor with deep knowledge of both the law and investigative tactics used by police and prosecutors.
If you are accused of being involved in a drug conspiracy, early legal advice is essential to protect your rights and build a strong defence.
How do you prove drug trafficking?
It’s usually quite straightforward to prove drug possession. However intent to distribute is not so clear cut. This is why specialist legal advice is so important.
Evidence may take the form of such factors as:
- Possession of a quantity of drugs not consistent with personal use.
- Having drug paraphernalia such as scales.
- Large supplies of unexplained cash
- Being found in possession of drugs of a high level of purity.
There may also be other factors that the courts will take as evidence of intent to supply. A legal expert will know what factors can influence the outcome of a prosecution in your favour.
Can you be charged with supply of drugs based on text messages?
Yes you can be charged with supply of drugs based on the evidence in text messages. For example even if the police find only small amounts of drugs in your possession, text messages that indicate your involvement in the supply of larger quantities can be taken into account as evidence of conspiracy to supply.

How we defend Drugs Conspiracy cases
Every drugs conspiracy case is different — but our defence approach is always strategic, thorough, and proactive. At [Your Law Firm Name], we begin by examining every detail of the evidence against you and identifying any weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
Here’s how we typically build your defence:
- Early Intervention
We get involved as early as possible — often at the police station stage — to protect your rights during interviews and challenge any unfair tactics or assumptions. - Evidence Review
We carefully assess all disclosure, including phone data, surveillance footage, call records, and forensics. We often uncover gaps, inconsistencies, or unreliable witnesses that can be used to your advantage. - Challenging the Conspiracy Allegation
Being associated with someone under investigation is not a crime. We look closely at whether there’s any real evidence of a criminal agreement — or whether the prosecution is relying too heavily on guilt by association. - Expert Support
We work with forensic experts, phone analysts, and legal specialists to question the reliability and admissibility of technical evidence. - Court Representation
Our solicitors and instructed barristers will present a clear, persuasive defence in court — whether that means negotiating a reduced charge or fighting for a full acquittal at trial.
