All Drug-Related Charges Are Serious
There are differences in drug possession and distribution charges. If you are arrested with 50 grams or less of marijuana, it can be charged as possession. You face distribution charges for larger amounts. However, possession of any level of more dangerous drugs (including cocaine, ecstasy and heroin), could carry more severe penalties.There are other sentencing things to keep in mind. If you were arrested with drugs in your car, you could lose your driving rights. Possession of drug paraphernalia could carry criminal charges and people arrested with large amounts of a controlled substance could be charged with attempt to distribute charges that can be charged as felonies.
