Drug possession is a criminal offense that occurs when a person has one or more drugs (illegal narcotics) in his/her possession for use, distribution, or sale.

Drug Possession – Criminal Charges

When a person is arrested for drug possession, he/she may be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony drug offense.  The severity and classification of the drug offense will depend upon:

• the type of drug possessed
• the amount of drug possessed
• if the person intended to sell the drug in his/her possession
• the person’s criminal background
• if the person has had prior drug crime convictions

The factors mentioned above could also lead to sentencing enhancements if the person is convicted.  For example, a person that is arrested for possessing a small amount of marijuana would likely receive a lighter sentence than a person who is arrested for possessing a distributable amount of heroin.  Or, a person who possessed a drug for personal use would typically receive a less severe sentence than a person who possessed a drug with intent to sell.

People who are convicted of drug possession in California may have to:  spend time in jail or prison, do community service, be placed on probation, attend drug and alcohol treatment programs, or pay fines.
