TYPES OF DRUG CRIMES IN CALIFORNIA
“Drug crimes” refer to a variety of criminal offenses that involve controlled substances. Drug possession is perhaps the most common drug crime. The offense can be charged if someone is found to have a small amount of a controlled substance on their person or in their home, vehicle, or property.
State and federal laws both prohibit the distribution of drugs. You could be charged with “drug possession with intent to deliver” if there is evidence that you intended to deliver a controlled substance to someone else. You do not necessarily have to successfully complete the delivery: Even intending to distribute is a crime that can lead to serious consequences.
Drug manufacturing is among the more serious drug crimes that are regularly prosecuted in California. You can face these charges if there is evidence you played a role in producing any controlled substance. This includes growing more marijuana than current state laws allow. Possessing certain legal pharmaceuticals that are used to produce drugs can also trigger these charges.

CAN I BE CHARGED WITH A DRUG CRIME IF I DID NOT USE OR CONSUME AN ILLEGAL DRUG?
The unfortunate truth is that yes, you can be charged with and convicted of a drug crime even if you are only in possession of a controlled substance. If you have only been charged with simple possession, you may be able to avoid any jail time with the assistance of a legal professional. If the prosecution has a strong case against you, you will likely need to pay fines and go through a court-approved treatment program.
CAN I BE CHARGED WITH A CRIME IF I HAVE DRUG PARAPHERNALIA BUT NO CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE?
Many are surprised to learn you can still be charged with a drug crime even if no controlled substances are found by police. It is illegal to possess certain types of drug paraphernalia, which refers to any item that could be conceivably used to produce, use, or conceal controlled substances. Depending on the context, examples may include rolling papers, roach clips, and syringes. Even ordinary household objects like scales, small plastic bags, and other containers could be considered paraphernalia and trigger criminal charges.
