Drug manufacturing Attorneys
What is Drug Manufacturing?
Drug manufacturing is the criminal act of producing narcotics and then selling them. In the state of California, it is illegal to produce and sell controlled substances such as: marijuana, heroin, LSD, cocaine, methamphetamines, and Ecstasy. If law enforcement finds that a person has been producing and selling illegal drugs, or that a person is in possession of certain chemicals that are used to produce drugs, law enforcement can charge the person with drug manufacturing. Drug manufacturing is a very serious crime and conviction for a drug manufacturing offense can lead to severe legal action and penalties.
Drug Manufacturing Consequences
The legal penalties for drug manufacturing in Orange County vary, and will depend upon several factors, including: the type of drug being manufactured, the amount of the drug being manufactured, the offender’s prior criminal history, and if the offender has prior drug manufacturing charges. These circumstances will determine if the offender is charged with a misdemeanor or felony drug offense. If the offender has a prior criminal record or a prior drug manufacturing charge, he/she is likely to receive an enhanced sentence if he/she is convicted. Additionally, if the offender used a minor (person below the legal age of 18) to manufacture, produce, or sell narcotics, the offender may be subject to harsher legal penalties. In most cases, drug manufacturing is considered a felony offense.
After a person has been convicted of drug manufacturing in Orange County, he/she may be punished with: imprisonment, jail time, large fines, loss of driver’s license, seizure of personal assets, house arrest, probation, and court ordered treatment programs. Additionally, any person that is convicted of a drug crime in the state of California will have to register his/her self as a drug offender. Once a person is a registered drug offender, he/she may find it difficult to attain employment or housing opportunities. The person may also lose their right to obtain student or bank loans from financial institutions.
