Drug possession, distribution, violation and trafficking crimes can be serious

Marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, "club drugs," heroin, and other narcotics and hallucinogens are all controlled substances. Under federal and state drug possession laws, it is a crime to possess these substances. If you are facing a Sacramento drug charge, get qualified legal help as soon as possible.

Controlled substance laws also make it a drug violation to possess specific chemicals used to cultivate and manufacture drugs, as well as accessories and paraphernalia related to drug use.

California drug crime laws are based on the type and amount of drugs in question. Possession of small quantities may be deemed simple possession, while large amounts can result in a charge that presumes the possession carried an intent to distribute.

Drug charges can be reduced

With good legal representation, a drug crime charge may be reduced in severity or thrown out altogether. That is why it is important not just to know the law, but also to have direct experience with the workings of law enforcement agencies and prosecutors.
