Search Scenario

CED/Abridgment Search Scenario:

Two undercover police constables enter a bar where they believe drugs are being sold. They notice two young men (the accused and a friend) who look suspicious, approach them and ask to buy some cocaine. The accused them sells them a small amount of powder cocaine. The next day the constables arrest the accused and charge him with drug trafficking. Given that the police asked to buy drugs, is entrapment a viable defence?
