I used to live in a share house with some friends. We all smoked pot recreationally and occasionally would chip in to buy a quarter-ounce from a friend of mine to share. I never made any profit from this arrangement. I was just the contact person. Was I technically trafficking?

- Trafficking involves the sale or supply of any quantity of drugs.
- It does not matter that you did not make a profit. On those facts you could be charged with trafficking cannabis.
