Drug Possession
Drug possession is generally described as the willful possession of illegal controlled substances, including marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, heroin and "club drugs." The state and federal laws on drug possession also make it illegal to possess chemicals or
supplies used in drug cultivation and manufacturing as well as accessories related to using drugs.
The
possession of a small amount of drugs may be charged as "simple
possession" and possession of larger amounts of drugs may be charged as
"possession with intent to distribute." Drug possession charges depend on drug type, amount and geographic location of the offense. If you are facing drug possession charges, connect with an lawyer in your area by calling us at 877-445-1059 or simply fill out the form below.
