The War on Drugs made many drug crimes punishable. It is these myriad drug crimes that are the primary reason the U.S. prison population is so large. While any conviction for a drug crime can stay on your record and affect the rest of your life, some types of drug crimes and drug charges are far more serious than others.
The different drug crimes you may be charged with will largely depend upon the type of drugs in your possession and the amount of the controlled substance. However, the outcome of your drug crimes case is going to depend on whether you decide to plead guilty or whether you are able to successfully defend yourself. Knowing the different types of drug crimes and the different charges you face is important so you can make informed choices about your criminal proceedings.
