A drug crime may be considered any criminal offense that involves illegal activity involving a controlled substance. A controlled substance is one that is regulated by the government and may include illegal street drugs such as heroin or cocaine as well as prescription drugs. Some examples of offenses that may qualify as drug crimes in Brandon include:
- Possession of illegal drugs
- Possession for sale
- Drug distribution
- Drug trafficking
- Drug sale
- Prescription drug fraud
- Drug import or export
- Juvenile drug crimes
Whether a drug crime is charged as a felony or misdemeanor and the severity of penalties associated with a drug crime conviction will vary depending on the specific offense as well as the type and amount of drug involved. For example, simple drug possession may mean that a defendant will not face imprisonment, particularly if this was for a very small amount of a lesser drug. For drug trafficking or offenses involving large amounts of drugs, however, life in prison may be the penalty imposed upon a conviction.
