Defense Against Drug Crime Charges

A drug crime is an umbrella term to define multiple offenses involving illicit drugs and controlled substances. Common types of drugs involved in these crimes include heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA (ecstasy), LSD, morphine, oxycodone, morphine, marijuana, etc.

Drugs are categorized into five “schedules” based on their potential for abuse and their medicinal value. Schedule I controlled substances are considered highly addictive with no accepted medical use, while Schedule V drugs have a low potential for addiction and accepted medical use.

The following are the common types of drug crimes our firm handles:

• Drug possession – This drug crime occurs when you possess a small quantity of controlled substance for personal use.
• Drug possession with intent to distribute – If you are in possession of a large quantity of drugs, you could be charged with possession with intent to distribute. In addition to the drugs, you could be charged with this drug crime for also possessing a significant amount of cash, small baggies, and a weight scale.
• Drug sale and distribution – Also known as “drug dealing,” this drug crime means selling of illegal drugs, often on a smaller scale.
• Drug trafficking – This drug crime means selling, transporting, and importing illegal narcotics. Drug trafficking is often described as drug dealing on a larger scale since the offense involves a substantial amount of drugs.
• Drug manufacturing or cultivation – This drug crime means the production of illegal drugs.

Most drug crimes are charges as felonies, which are punishable by a lengthy prison sentence and fines worth thousands of dollars. Due to seriousness of these penalties, it is wise to obtain legal representation from a skilled lawyer.
