Possession of drugs (or drug paraphernalia) can be a felony or a misdemeanor in our state, depending on the amount and type of drugs you may possess. In fact, possession of a small amount of marijuana may be handled differently in different cities and counties. Possessing large amounts of drugs, or cultivating or selling drugs, is more likely to be a felony with serious penalties attached.
Some common controlled substances are methamphetamine, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and ecstasy (MDMA). Some prescription medications are also considered controlled substances and possessing them without a valid prescription is against the law. An experienced Orange County Drug crime defense attorney can change the entire direction of your case.
Drug possession, sale, or manufacture can be serious federal crimes. When combined with "three strikes laws" or sentencing enhancements due to previous felonies, defendants can face lengthy criminal sentences. Individuals accused of drug trafficking can also have their homes or belongings seized under asset forfeiture laws.
There are so many variables involving drug cases, you have to call an experienced Orange County Drug Defense Attorney.
