Crystal Meth Possession and Use
Crystal Meth is a form of methamphetamine that is usually smoked, but can also be snorted or injected. It is an illegal and highly addictive substance. It is a crime to possess, distribute, manufacture, sell, import, export or traffic in crystal meth. You can also be arrested for possessing the chemicals used in a crystal meth lab. Crystal meth crimes can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony.
In recent years, law enforcement has been aggressively pursuing individuals engaged in crimes related to crystal meth production and sales. These cases, which involve offenses such as manufacturing, distribution, trafficking and possession with intent to distribute, are usually charged as felonies. Another factor will determine the severity of the charges, even when the drug is for personal use, is the amount. The higher the quantity, the more likely the offense will be charged as a felony.
A conviction in a crystal meth case can result in serious penalties, including long prison sentences and heavy fines. Crime enhancements such as the involvement of minors, distribution of crystal meth near a school, or the use of weapons can result in even harsher sentencing.
If you have been charged with a drug offense involving crystal meth, your future is at considerable risk. Contact a Los Angeles drug crime lawyer to get qualified legal advice on how to defend the charges against you.
