Drug Crime Attorney in San Diego
Representation You Can Trust in Southern California
Have you been accused of a drug crime in California? These offenses carry serious consequences, so it is important to retain a seasoned defense attorney for your case. The penalties you could face for a drug crime conviction depend on several different factors, including the particular offense you have been charged with and the amount of the controlled substance involved.
San Diego Drug Crimes Include The Following:
- Possession
- Possession with intent to sell
- Trafficking
- Prescription fraud
- Prescription forgery
- Cultivation
- Manufacture
- Sale or intent to sell
The substance involved will also impact the charges you will face. The federal government formally classified various illegal drugs under five separate "schedules" in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Schedule 1 drugs are considered to be the most dangerous - with the highest potential for abuse and no discovered medical use - and include Ecstasy, cocaine, heroin, PCP, LSD, and methamphetamine. On the other end of the spectrum, substances that are defined as Schedule 5 have a relatively low potential for abuse and accepted medical use. These drugs include some cough medications, appetite suppressants, and small amounts of higher schedule substances such as codeine.
