Club Drugs Charges

These drugs include such types as GHB and ecstasy, which are relatively new, ‘designer’ drugs that have become more prevalent in recent years. These drugs are mostly odorless and colorless, and can lead to more severe crimes if administered to an unknowing victim. The punishment relating to club drugs can be harsh, and conviction of trafficking these types of drugs can lead to a minimum sentence of five to ten years in prison.

Cocaine Possession/Sale & Crack Possession/Sale

While cocaine and crack are technically prosecuted as different drugs, crack is technically processed cocaine that is used in ‘rock’ form. These drugs are extremely addictive, and punishment for producing or trafficking either cocaine or crack can be as severe as life imprisonment.

Heroin Possession & Sale

Heroin is an opiate that is derived from morphine, and it is highly addictive. It easily can kill when overdosed or used as a ‘dirty’ or ‘hot’ dose containing impurities. More than 1,500 people were federally convicted for heroin offenses in 2006, with nearly 98% of these convicted of heroin trafficking charges.

Methamphetamine Possession, Manufacture & Sale

“Meth” is an addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system, and ‘labs’ all over the United States are used to manufacture this substance from otherwise-legal ingredients. It’s a growing problem, and the stiff sentences associated with it are a reflection of legislatures’ desire to curb the tide of meth production, distribution and use.

Marijuana Possession & Sale

Marijuana is one of the most common illegal substances on the black market. It is a naturally-occurring plant that’s harvested, packaged and sold for use. Most users will smoke marijuana, while some will use it as a baking ingredient in order to ‘get high’. More than 5,000 people faced federal marijuana charges in 2006, and the penalties associated with this offense are growing in severity.
