Plano Drug Crime Attorney

What is a Drug Offense?

A drug offense is a type of crime that is related to a controlled substance. Controlled substances are various manmade or naturally occurring substances or mixtures of substances that are regulated by the government. They may be entirely illegal to possess or administer in any capacity or may be intended for restricted use, as in the case of prescription drugs. Some examples of controlled substances include marijuana, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, oxycodone, hydrocodone, valium and methamphetamine. Both state and federal laws outline the specific offenses and penalties related to controlled substances. Some of the types of specific drug offenses that a person may commit include the unlawful possession, sale, distribution or trafficking of a controlled substance, illegal cultivation of marijuana or cannabis or drug manufacturing.
