Drug Possession and Drug Crimes

Drug charges range from misdemeanors to serious felonies depending on the type of drug, whether it is being sold or used for personal possession, and the amount of the drug at issue. Drug charges cannot only land a person in jail or prison for a long period of time but they can also mar a person’s criminal record for life damaging job prospects. However, many drug charges can be disposed of via a diversion program, a drug court program, or another program via Proposition 36. Such dispositions can lead to the dismissal of all charges and even the expungement of the arrest record so that a person avoids the stigma of being a felony arrestee.
