Drug Possession, Cultivation and Trafficking

Despite the perception that California has a liberal attitude towards drugs, tens of thousands of people are arrested every year in California on drug related charges. Charges may vary from an infraction for simple possession of marijuana to misdemeanor or felony charges for drug trafficking or cultivation. Beahm Law can help you fight the charges and can often get you into a drug treatment program instead of jail.

California drug charges can be attacked from a number of angles including:

1. Improper search and seizure
2. Improper reliance on informants
3. Improper warrants
4. Lack of warrants
5. Lack of probable cause
6. Lack of evidence

It is a felony to possess cocaine, crack, ecstasy, heroin, ketamine, GHB and certain prescription drugs without a prescription. Felony charges for possession of a controlled substance carry a maximum punishment of up to three years in prison. However, most for drug offenders are eligible drug diversion.
