Drug Crimes in California

Most drug offenses can be classified into the following three categories: simple possession, sale, and possession for sale.

Simple Drug Possession

Simple possession is the possession of a usable amount of a controlled substance for personal use.

Some common controlled substances are:

  • Methamphetamine
  • Cocaine
  • Heroin
  • Ecstasy (MDMA)

Some prescription medications are also considered controlled substances and possessing them without a valid prescription is against the law.

Simple possession of methamphetamine or ecstasy is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. Possession of cocaine or heroin for personal use is a misdemeanor punishable by a year in jail.

In many cases, those who have been charged with simple possession may be eligible for a drug diversion or treatment program instead of incarceration in jail. Successful completion of the program can lead to the dismissal of the charges at some point. However, failure to complete the program as directed by the court may mean jail. In any event, a consultation with a qualified attorney is essential to knowing all of the options available and to ensuring that all of your rights are protected.
