Under Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, which conduct is included under section 4(3)?

• A. Directly selling to the police
• B. Possession with intent to supply
• C. Transfer to another person, offering to supply, being concerned in supply
• D. Importing illegal drugs

Answer: (C)

Section 4(3) targets involvement in the supply of a controlled drug, not just possession. It covers acts that facilitate or participate in the distribution: transferring drugs to someone else, offering to supply, or being involved in the supply chain. The important point is that the offence can be committed by activity that supports or enables a supply, even if the person does not complete a sale themselves. That’s why transferring a drug, offering to supply, or being concerned in the supply falls under this provision. In contrast, importing drugs is a separate offence under the Act, and possession with intent to supply is a different charge focusing on the holder’s intent to supply rather than on being involved in the supply chain.
