Drug and Narcotic Offenses

Under California Law, drug offenses include possession or possession for sale, trafficking and manufacturing of an illegal substance. In California, controlled substances are narcotics, stimulants, opiates, depressants, hallucinogens, and anabolic steroids. It's illegal to possess them without a prescription.

The punishments for drug offenders in California range from a small fine to large fines and jail time. Punishments are determined by the amount and type of the drug involved in the charge, and the activity associated with the drug. Drug offense penalties can be very serious. You could end up in county jail or state prison. Your car or anything else linked to the drug crime could be taken away (Forfeiture Proceedings). You could lose your driver's license, have to pay a fine, and/or be required to register as a narcotics offender.
