Drug crimes in California can range from misdemeanors to felonies, punishable in state prison depending on the quantity of alleged narcotics and whether or not the charge is for simple possession, or for possession for sale or manufacturing. If there is a firearm located with the alleged narcotics the charge can be a felony punishable in state prison regardless of the quantity of narcotics, pursuant to Health and Safety Code § 11370.1.
For many drug related offenses there are sentencing alternatives like “pre-trial diversion,” “differed entry of judgment,” and “drug court.” Various drug treatment programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, outpatient and inpatient hospital programs, and private outpatient and residential programs can be ordered to supplement or even replace custody time.
Drug investigations often involve searches of persons, automobiles, property and real estate. If law enforcement violates your constitutional rights during a search, your case could be thrown out. Review of your case by an experienced defense attorney that knows constitutional law is imperative in order to be assured that you are getting the best possible defense.
