DRUG AND NARCOTIC OFFENSES

The Blumenreich Law Firm is prepared to handle all types of drug offenses, including possessing, trafficking, importing, selling, or manufacturing illegal substances. In Phoenix alone, there are an average of over 10,000 drug crimes reported each year. Therefore, if you have been accused of such offenses, you need a lawyer that is extremely familiar with Arizona drug cases. Arizona drug possession laws make it a crime to willfully possess illegal controlled substances such as marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, "club drugs," and heroin. These laws also criminalize the possession of "precursor" chemicals used in drug cultivation and manufacturing, as well as certain accessories related to drug use.

Drug distribution/trafficking laws penalize the selling, transportation, and illegal import into the United States of unlawful controlled substances. Drug distribution/trafficking laws can implicate a single individual or a number of people involved in organized illegal drug activity.

Drug cultivation and manufacturing laws make it a crime to grow, produce, and possess certain plants and other naturally occurring elements used in the production of unlawful controlled substances, such as cannabis seeds and marijuana plants; or to produce illegal controlled substances like cocaine, methamphetamine, LSD, and Ecstasy, which require use of certain chemicals and laboratory equipment in their production.

Drug laws vary according to drug type, amount, geographic area, and if minors were involved in the offense. If you have been charged with any of these types of drug offenses, contact Josh Blumenreich for aggressive protection of your constitutional rights.
