Mesa Drug Possession Attorney

Drug Possession Charges, Convictions and Penalties

While drug possession may not seem like a serious drug crime in comparison to others like drug sales, distribution or cultivation, you can be assured that Arizona State law has a very serious view of this criminal act. Drug possession convictions may warrant several months to years in prison with exceptional financial penalties, in addition to the many different negative consequences even an accused offender may face in society with family, close relationships or employers.

One of the most harrowing aspects of a drug possession charge is the likelihood that other charges may be added to your arrest. If law enforcement has sufficient reason to think that you had intended to sell or distribute the drugs you were in possession of, then those charges may be imposed on you as well. This can significantly extend the potential prison sentence and fines that may be imposed in the event of conviction. Other key factors in determining the extent of your charges and penalties include the type of drug, the quantity in possession and prior criminal record.
