Drug Possession

Drug possession crimes will result in misdemeanor or felony charges depending on the type and quantity of the drugs. Different forms of possession carry different penalties. For example, possession of a small quantity of marijuana is a misdemeanor, whereas possession of a large quantity of marijuana with intent to sell or distribute will qualify as a felony charge. These charges carry large fines and significant jail time. Additionally, a background check that reveals a drug possession charge may make it difficult to acquire certain jobs, receive loans, and apply for student aid. A drug possession conviction may even result in the loss of your driving privileges.

Marijuana, methamphetamines, cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, and heroin are just a few examples of illegal substances that if found in your possession could result in a drug possession charge. In some cases, drug paraphernalia containing trace quantities of the above drugs may also lead to drug possession charges. Even possession of raw chemicals commonly used in the production of some drugs can lead to drug possession charges.
