Arizona State and Federal Drug Crimes

There are various acts which are prohibited by Arizona State and/or Federal law regarding controlled substances. The severity of criminal penalties a defendant may face will vary depending upon the nature of the offense itself, such as whether the defendant committed simple possession, was distributing drugs or had a large amount of narcotics with the intent to distribute or traffic. The type of drug itself and the amount will also affect charges and sentencing. Controlled substances are classified into schedules or felony classification according to their perceived danger, with a Schedule I substance being the most dangerous. As such, possession of even a small amount of ecstasy, heroin, or another Schedule I substance may result in immediate felony charges. A prior criminal record, if any, will also impact sentencing.
