简单管有控罪Vs. 占有并意图出售
在加州, there are two types of possession charges that you may face: simple possession charges and charges of possession with the intent to sell. Simple possession charges are when someone is caught with a relatively small amount of an illegal drug, and possession with the intent to sell is when law enforcement believes that an individual is planning on selling or distributing an illegal drug to others, 通常是在拥有大量药物的基础上. 大家可以想象, the penalties for possession with the intent to sell are even more damaging than simple possession charges, 通常被认为是重罪. 话虽如此, 不管你被指控的情况如何, 我们加州的刑事辩护律师来帮你.
什么是药物分销?
The definition of drug distribution includes the illegal sale and transport of any of the drugs listed in the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. 持有并出售是一种相关犯罪. You can also get a distribution charge if the substances the police find in your possession are not listed on any of the schedules of the Controlled Substances Act but are ingredients used in the manufacture of methamphetamine or phencyclidine (PCP).
The law treats drug distribution as a more serious crime than simple possession because, 通过分发非法毒品, the defendant is increasing the risk that someone else will suffer the effects of drug abuse, 包括过量或成瘾. Prosecutors often try to play on jurors’ fears about dangerous drug dealers intentionally preying on vulnerable people. This is just another reason that you need a skilled defense lawyer to help you fight your drug distribution charges.
药品流通的后果是什么?
分销毒品是重罪,可判缓刑或监禁. The length of the prison sentence, if any, has to do with the circumstances of the crime. Drug distribution in a place where children are present or a place frequented by children gets even harsher punishments than other places. 例如, the sentence will be longer if the defendant manufactured or sold drugs near a school or playground. 同样的, whether or not you have previous convictions on your record affects the length of your sentence. The maximum sentence for distribution of precursor chemicals to methamphetamine or PCP is 16 months to six years in prison.
加州第47号提案
本质上, Proposition 47 made it so that individuals can no longer face felony penalties for the simple possession of controlled substances in the state of California. 2014年第47号提案通过后, individuals may now only face misdemeanor charges for the possession of various controlled substances. 这些罪行通常会被处以最高一年的监禁和罚款. 下列药物均被列为受管制物质:
- 鸦片制剂及一切鸦片衍生物; i.e. 海洛因
- 可卡因
- 合成大麻
- 迷幻剂, i.e. 蘑菇和LSD
- 甲基安非他命
- 若干处方药 i.e.氢可酮安定阿普唑仑
持有大麻指控
While the recreational use and sale of marijuana has been legalized in the state of California, 这只是在一定程度上正确. 例如,如果你被发现拥有超过28个.5 grams of marijuana, you may go to jail for up to six months and face a potential $500 fine. 此外,如果你未满18岁,而你被抓到28岁.5克或更少, you will face an infraction and you will have to participate in community service and a mandatory drug education course. 如果你被抓到携带8克或更多的浓缩大麻, 你很可能会面临500美元的罚款和最多一年的监禁. 最后, 如果你被抓到修炼, 或成长, 在加州种植了超过六种大麻, 你可能面临6个月的监禁和500美元的罚款.
你还应该注意, 然而, 如果你被抓到卖大麻, 你将面临额外的处罚. 它们如下:
- 数额不限:这是轻罪, 这可能会导致6个月的监禁和500美元的罚款.
- Selling marijuana as an 18 year old or older to anyone between the ages of 14-17: This is a felony charge that may warrant anywhere between three and five years in jail.
- Selling marijuana as an 18 year old or older to anyone younger than 14: This is a felony that may warrant anywhere between three and seven years in jail.
