What are drug crimes?

A drug crime may include any state or federal offense related to controlled substances, including both illegal narcotics as well as prescription drugs. The unlawful production, manufacturing, cultivation, distribution, sale, import/export, trafficking or possession of a controlled substance may result in misdemeanor or felony charges, depending not only upon the particular offense but also the type of drug and the amount involved. The more dangerous a drug is considered, the more serious penalties will be for a conviction of this kind.

The penalties for drug crimes vary depending on the amount of drugs found in the individual's possession as well as the type of drugs. The severity of the crime will also play a role in what the possible sentence will be. For example, a drug possession conviction is less serious than a large scale drug trafficking operation involving crossing state lines and country borders. Another factor that will play a key role in an offender's defense is any prior criminal history. If they have been guilty of previous drug crimes, the court will take this into consideration. If a weapon was involved in the crime, this will enhance penalties as will which classification of drugs were involved. In order to avoid misdemeanor or felony conviction, as well as jail and prison time, you need to get strong legal defense as soon as possible. Click here to learn more about drug penalties.

What is drug paraphernalia?
Being found to have illegal drugs is not the only way you could be arrested for a drug crime. The possession of drug paraphernalia is also a criminal offense which is punishable by up to a year in county jail as well as a $1,000 fine. Drug paraphernalia is a broad range of items that include any product or material that aids in the manufacturing, distributing, transportation, cultivation, sale, or use of controlled substances. Examples of items that prosecution would determine to be drug-related are measuring scales, storage (such as plastic bags), needles, pipes, and more. For some of these items, there could be an innocent reason for you why these things were in your possession. They do not necessarily mean that they were intended for the use of drugs or growing of drugs. If you were arrested for a crime involving drug paraphernalia, contact a member of our firm as soon as possible.
