Your Choice For Drug Defense
Drug cases are a passion for me. My first case ever was a Major Drug Offender (MDO) case. I’ve been obsessed ever since. All of my free time is spent researching strategies from all over the country to combat these charges. Let me bring that obsession to your defense.
Drug Offenses Generally
In Ohio, having any Schedule I or II drug in your possession is a felony. Having more than 199 grams of marijuana is a felony.
These felonies often result in prison time, fines, probation, and many other collateral consequences.
What is the Difference Between Possession and Trafficking
The possession of drugs is pretty self explanatory. Trafficking is when it gets a little tricky. When prosecutors believe they can prove you sold, shipped, transported, or delivered controlled substances that were intended to then be sold to others, you will often be charged with trafficking or aggravated trafficking in drugs.
Penalties for Drug Crimes
So here’s the deal, sentencing for drug crimes is complex. So much of it depends upon the drug, the amount, where you possessed it, whether you intended to sell it, etc.. I intend to make a chart one day. Unfortunately, today isn’t that day. In the meantime, call me for any questions on the penalties for drug crimes.
If you don’t believe me, here is a “simple” chart the Supreme Court of Ohio made. Enjoy. https://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/Boards/Sentencing/resources/judPractitioner/drugQuickRef.pdf
