DRUG CONSPIRACY FACTS AND REPERCUSSIONS
There are a wide range of drug charges that one can face. They are dependent on factors such as drug type, amount of the drug, and if the drug was being sold. The charges will either fall into a misdemeanor or a felony. Charges that fall into the misdemeanor category include simple possession (without intent to distribute), constructive possession (control over a person or place drugs were found or no physical presence at time drugs were found), and possession of drug paraphernalia. Charges that fall into the felony category include drug manufacturing (use of controlled substances to create illicit drugs) and drug trafficking.
Repercussions for being convicted of a misdemeanor drug crime can result in fines, probation, or a prison sentence. Being convicted of a felony drug crime can result in a sentence to prison depending on the severity on the charges. Due to a change in drug laws in 2009 New York State introduced the Judicial Diversion Program. This program allows for significantly reduced sentences if the defendant seeks drug treatment.
If you are charged with drug conspiracy make sure you contact a lawyer that's well equipped to handle drug cases.
