What You Need to Know About Drug Crimes
Drug crimes refer to offenses related to the possession, distribution, manufacturing, or trafficking of illegal or controlled substances. These crimes are regulated by both state and federal laws, and the penalties for drug offenses can vary significantly depending on the type and amount of the drug involved, as well as the defendant's criminal history.
In California, drug crimes are typically classified as misdemeanors or felonies, with more serious offenses carrying harsher sentences. For example, possession of small amounts of certain drugs, such as marijuana, may be charged as a misdemeanor, while possession of larger amounts or more serious drugs, such as cocaine or methamphetamine, may be charged as a felony. Manufacturing or distributing drugs can also result in felony charges.
In addition to the criminal penalties associated with drug crimes, there can also be significant collateral consequences. These can include the loss of employment, professional licensing, housing, and financial aid for education. For non-citizens, drug offenses can also result in deportation or denial of naturalization.
It is also worth mentioning that California has legalized marijuana for recreational use. However, it is important to remember that marijuana remains illegal under federal law and can still result in criminal charges in some circumstances. If you have been charged with a marijuana-related offense, it is crucial to have an attorney who understands the complex interplay between state and federal laws.
