Drug crimes cover many offenses, but two of the most severe are drug sale and possession. This is because drug sale involves the distribution of drugs to others and possession means that a person has drugs on their person. Sometimes, it can be found that a person in possession of drugs has the intent to distribute them and that is nearly as severe as actually following through with the act. It is very important that you have a Duluth drug sale and possession lawyer working by your side so that you can have the best future possible after being charged with these drug crimes.

Drug Sale & Possession Penalties
A person could be facing penalties at the state or federal level. The penalties vary depending upon the amount and type of the drug involved. A first degree offense can result in up to 30 years in prison and fines of up to $1,000,000. Even being charged with a fifth degree offense can have a penalty of up to 5 years in prison and $100,000 in fines. Many cases carry lesser penalties, but it is still important to hire a Duluth drug lawyer to assist you with your case.
