Drug offenses encompass a whole range of issues. From simple possession, to a severe habit, to the even more serious dealer, each can be considered a drug offender.
Both California and the Federal government have severe penalties for drug offenses. Some convictions can result in prison sentences that are longer than some violent offenses. The war on drugs wages on and it takes its toll on our society, our families and our legal system.
People who are drug offenders often need treatment. There are many rehabilitation facilities that are open and willing to accept those who need the help. A good lawyer will know which facilities are better and which facilities often help in negotiating a better offer from the prosecutor.
If one cannot get into a treatment facility, incarceration is often the choice of the court system. In addition to a prison sentence, California requires registration of many of its convicted drug offenders. This registration is similar to the Sex Offender registration requirement in that it require periodic reporting and updating to the local police.
In the federal system, there is almost no hope for a drug diversion program. Many offenders are often considered very dangerous to the federal authorities. Some even face sentences of hundreds of years.
Therefore, hiring a competent attorney to represent you in your drug matter is very important. Prison should not be a place for someone with an addiction problem.
