Are You Accused Of A Drug Crime?

Being accused of a drug crime is serious and complex. The charges can be related to crime in multiple ways. It’s a crime to possess, manufacture and distribute drugs that are classified as having the potential to be abused by anyone.  These types of drugs are commonly known as cocaine, heroin, morphine and amphetamines. Drug abuse is also connected to other crimes such as shoplifting, burglary, violence and driving while under the influence (DUI).
