Understanding Drug Possession
Drug possession typically refers to the unlawful possession of small amounts of controlled substances. These substances can include marijuana, cocaine, fentanyl, prescript
ion drugs, and many others. While drug possession is classified as a misdemeanor offense in many cases, if you are alleged to have possessed a large quantity of drugs you can be charged with a felony. Potential penalties for drug possession include:
- Significant fines and court costs: Fines can be up to $1,000 for a first offense.
- Jail time: 12 months in county jail for a misdemeanor offense and many years in prison for felony offenses.
- A criminal record: Drug possession can lead to a criminal record. Even a misdemeanor on your record can impact your future employment, housing, and educational opportunities.
Colorado and Wyoming take drug charges seriously. While drug possession might not sound severe, it can lead to long-term consequences if not handled properly. As your drug possession attorneys, we’ll do what we can to minimize these consequences.

Possible Defenses for Drug Possession Charges
At Fleener Petersen Law, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all defenses. Depending on the specifics of your case, our attorneys may pursue one or more of the following defenses:
- Illegal search and seizure: If law enforcement obtained evidence without a proper warrant or probable cause, that evidence should be suppressed, weakening the prosecution’s case.
