Drug-related convictions have serious penalties under federal and state drug laws, and constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment (Search and Seizure) are often compromised as state and federal agencies aggressively take legal action against alleged narcotics offenders.

Federal and state laws regarding narcotics are generally divided into three categories:

Drug Possession

Both federal and state laws criminalize the possession of illegal substances, including the chemicals used to cultivate and manufacture narcotics. The consequences, as set out by sentencing guidelines, for possession of illegal drugs depend upon the amount involved and the intent of the possessor.

Distributing and Trafficking Drugs

State and federal laws regulate the delivery of drugs and the distribution of illegal controlled substances, criminalizing their sale, transport, or import in the United States without exemption. The Controlled Substances Act and state laws control the distribution of pharmaceutical and prescription drugs, exposing professionals to the risk of losing their licenses and livelihoods.

Drug Cultivation and Manufacturing Laws

Manufacturing or cultivating controlled substances can put you at risk of criminal investigation, arrest, and criminal charges.
