Drug Crimes Explained

A drug crime is any criminal offense that involves the use, sale, possession or manufacturing of an illegal narcotic.  In the state of California, the following drugs are considered illegal and may lead to criminal charges:  marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines, opium, Ecstasy and all unauthorized prescription medications, such as painkillers.

Often times, when people are caught with a small amount of a drug in their possession, they are charged with a misdemeanor and may get off with a little fine.  However, when people are caught with large amounts of drugs, selling drugs, cultivating drugs, trafficking drugs or transporting drugs, they can be charged with felony drug crimes.  This means that if they are convicted, they will face penalties like having to spend time in jail, having to pay substantial fines or having to attend drug rehabilitation programs.  These penalties can literally destroy a person’s quality of life and will present continual limitations.  For this reason, people who have been charged with drug offenses should always take their criminal charges seriously.
