Defending Against All Drug Charges

The state of Minnesota has a wide variety of drug laws that people can be charged with violating. Examples of drug charges include:

• Trafficking of an illicit or controlled substance
• Possessing a controlled substance with intent to distribute
• Criminal possession of a small amount of marijuana or other illegal substance
• Consuming an illicit or controlled substance
• Distributing illicit or controlled substance
• Criminal possession of drug paraphernalia

Each of these examples encompasses a wide range of drug charges and each has its own implications. With so many differences and nuances in the law, it can be a challenge for someone without legal experience to understand the implications of their situation. This is why anyone who is charged with a drug crime should contact an experienced defense attorney for assistance.

Is The Attitude Surrounding Drug Charges Changing?

The political atmosphere surrounding drug charges appears to be changing. With the overcrowding of jails and prisons, many people have had their sentences shortened or commuted. Furthermore, people who are facing drug charges in today’s climate may be able to avoid prison time if their criminal charge is non-violent in nature.

However, this possibility isn’t something anyone accused of a drug crime should take for granted. Representing yourself in court is unlikely to result in a lighter sentence, and hiring an attorney who is unfamiliar with drug crimes defense is unlikely to obtain a better result. Instead, it is important to hire experienced counsel — like the attorneys at Carlson & Jones, P.A. — who understands the law, the facts and the reality of the penal system to use these facts to your advantage and provide a strong defense that produces results.
