Our Georgia criminal defense lawyers are skilled negotiators and litigators with prosecutorial experience, so we understand how prosecutors think – and what it takes to successfully challenge drug trafficking charges.
Penalties For Trafficking Cocaine, Marijuana And Other Substances
Criminals convicted of drug trafficking in Georgia can face felony charges. Schedule I and II drug possession, such as LSD, cocaine and marijuana are punishable with up to 30 to 40 years or life in prison. Suspects could face up to 10 years in prison if found in possession of Schedule II, IV or V drugs.
A charge often depends on the quantity of a substance found in someone’s possession. A suspect could be charged with drug trafficking if they have several pounds of marijuana, but could face the same criminal conviction for possessing just an ounce of “hard” drugs, like cocaine or ecstasy.
How Drug Schedules Work Against You In Georgia
Every drug is classified according to a federal “schedule.” Drugs with higher schedules have little to no official use in the medical field and can lead to severe abuse and addiction. Drugs are classified from Schedule I to V, with Schedule I drugs being the most dangerous and holding the highest risk of severe criminal penalties.
