Drug Possession Attorney in Tuscaloosa, Alabama

A controlled substance is defined as illegal drugs that are classified by the government as being dangerous. Thousands of Alabama prisoners are in jail or prison due to a drug offense. Drug possession typically goes hand in hand with drug sales. Drugs typically found in possession and/or sold on the street are cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, PCP, heroin, LSD, and ecstasy.

Oftentimes, if drugs are found in your possession you may be charged by law enforcement with drug sales (possession with intent to sell) as well, even if the drugs were for your own personal use. The differences in the charges that can be brought against you for drug crimes are extreme. You could be looking at a virtual slap on the wrist or a lifetime behind bars. Penalties for a drug charge are based on the type and amount of drug in your possession, intent to sell, or distribute, your past criminal arrests, and the circumstances surrounding your case.
