If you’ve been charged with possession of drugs, you do have options. Depending on the amount and the type of drug in your possession, you may have been charged with a misdemeanor or a felony. The weight of the charges is also determined by what the police believe your intention to be with the drug—personal use, transporting, sales, etc. No matter what the charge, certain legal steps can be taken initially to make sure that all measures to avoid legal consequences are being taken.

An analysis must be made as to whether or not illegal search and seizure has taken place in the discovery of the drugs according to the constitution. If it has, the court can throw out the drugs as evidence and the case can be dismissed. Other defenses are available based on the nature of and amount of the controlled substance in your possession. Futher, medically prescribed medication can often trigger an unwarranted arrest. All of your rights and the actions taken against you for drug use, possession, transport, sales, etc., should be evaluated by a professional with extensive experience for your own legal benefit.
