Arrests for drug offenses are very common in California. Many drug offenses are prosecuted as felonies, especially if the prosecution believes the drugs were held for sale and not for personal use. Simple possession of certain substances (Vicodin, for example) is a felony unless the possessor has a valid and legal prescription. Manufacturing drugs, such as a methamphetamine lab run out of a home or garage, carries special charges. There are defenses to drug charges and alternatives to trial. There are avenues that send drug offenders to treatment programs and which may ultimately lead to dismissal of the charges. Your attorney should review all options and explore all potential defenses.
