That offense is failure to give CDS to the police. Wierd, I know, but this is what is used to downgrade CDS charges. You can get a conditional discharge but I would suggest you meet with an attorney first to see if you should go that route.

I'm right into New Brunswick and my intial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

If you have no prior criminal drug convictions or conditional discharges

you are eligibile for first offender treatment for the new charge which is

failing to surrender a controllled dangerous substance to a law enforcement official, a disorderly persons offense.

Call me if you like.
