Drug Possession
In many cases, drug possession is considered a misdemeanor. Whether a drug possession charge is a misdemeanor or felony oftem depends on the type of drug (whether it was marijuana, cocaine or another drug) and the amount of drug that was in your possession. There are several legal issues that should be considered in drug possession cases that an experienced defense attorney can assist you with.
Intent to Distribute
If you are found with illegal drugs on your person and there is evidence of intent to distribute the drugs, you may be charged with intent to distribute. These are serious charges, and the courts do not look favorably upon individuals who were allegedly attempting to distribute and sell drugs to other individuals.
Manufacturing
Due to the increase in methamphetamine production, there has been a country-wide crack-down on meth labs. Law enforcement officials are taking the manufacturing of meth more seriously and, in turn, a conviction for distributing or manufacturing methamphetamine can result in a sentence to the Department of Corrections for several years with mandatory parole.
