Types of Drug Crimes
Drug offense charges can vary significantly based on the nature and severity of the offense. Below are some of the most common crimes our drug offense attorneys work with:
Simple Possession
Simple possession refers to having a controlled substance for personal use without the intent to distribute. The penalties for simple possession can include fines, probation, and mandatory drug education classes. The penalties, however, can be more severe; for example, jail time depending on the type and amount of the drug. Common controlled substances involved in possession cases include marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamines, heroin, and prescription medications.
Possession with Intent to Distribute
Possession with the intent to distribute is more serious than a simple possession. An individual may face charges of possession with intent to distribute if they are found with a larger quantity of drugs, drug paraphernalia, large amounts of cash, or other evidence suggesting intent to distribute. Because this is a more serious offense than simple possession, it can carry much harsher penalties. These penalties can include lengthy prison sentences, substantial fines, and a permanent criminal record.
Drug Distribution and Trafficking
Drug distribution involves selling, delivering, or providing controlled substances to others. When large quantities of drugs are involved—or the drugs are moved across state or national borders—the charges can escalate to drug trafficking. These offenses are among the most severe drug crimes. Drug distribution and trafficking are prosecuted aggressively by both state and federal authorities. Convictions for drug distribution and trafficking can result in decades of imprisonment, enormous fines, and other severe consequences.
