Methamphetamine Possession & Sale
Methamphetamine Possession & Sale
Like most illicit drugs, methamphetamine crimes are heavily prosecuted under federal and state law. The increased scrutiny of meth possession and meth sales by both the media and the government has led to increased sentencing standards. This has created an increasing need for qualified and experienced criminal defense attorneys who know how to defend those charged with meth crimes. The Blanch Law Firm offers an unparalleled understanding of the law and our sophisticated defense skills are used to bring about the best possible outcome for our clients.
Penalties for Meth Possession and Sales
The penalties for the possession and sale of meth are some of the toughest of any drug violation. New York and other states offer heavy penalties for possession, including up to $500,000 in fines and upwards of 10 years in prison. For the sale of methamphetamines, the fines can reach up to $1,000,000 and prison time increases depending upon the amount sold.
Not only is it illegal to possess methamphetamine, but it is also illegal to possess the ingredients with the intent to manufacture these drugs. Even minor charges, such as selling or possessing small amounts of crystal meth, carry heavy fines and prison time. The Blanch Law Firm is one of the most trusted and respectable drug defense law firms in New York; we offer our clients decades of experience and a proven track record of getting the best possible outcome for our clients.
War on Methamphetamine and Other Drugs
The Federal “War On Drugs” has focused on crystal meth over the law few years, and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) targets meth labs across the country. In 2005, the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005 was passed as part of the USA Patriot Act, which put restrictions on even legal forms of methamphetamines.
