Charged With Drug Possession?

The penalties for possession of drugs depend on the kind of drugs involved and the amount. In cases involving harder drugs like heroin, cocaine, LSD, or methamphetamine (Schedule I and II drugs), the penalties are more severe than for drugs like marijuana or Ecstasy (Schedule III or IV drugs). Additionally, depending on the amount of drugs found in your possession, the prosecutor may introduce a charge of trafficking and the government may initiate a criminal forfeiture against you. As a result, it’s important to work with a criminal defense attorney who understands how to fight drug possession charges.
