Phoenix Drug Offenses: Drug Possession Charges & Punishment

Punishment for Arizona drug crimes depends on many factors including:

  • The quantity of the Drug
  • The drugs classification
  • The purpose of the drugs possession, sale, use or manufacturing
  • The defendant’s Criminal history
  • Strength of facts and evidence of Arizona drug offense

As a Phoenix criminal defense law firm, James Novak has found that the top drug crimes are producing, manufacturing, or selling drugs in Arizona. Possession of drugs with the intent to distribute them is a serious crime, and prosecutors attempt to show intent to distribute by establishing the quantity of the drug you possessed. This is despite the fact that you did or did not actually distribute the drug.

In Arizona, a drug offense conviction can result in mandatory prison time with the sentence increasing based on the drug crime factors. If you’ve been charged with Arizona felony drug possession, trafficking, or sales you may be sentenced to fines, probation, community service, counseling and prison if convicted.
