Drug Offenses

Drugs are related to crime through the effects they have on the user's behavior and by generating violence and other illegal activity. Most directly, it is a crime to possess drugs classified as having a potential for abuse (such as cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and amphetamines). The most common drug offenses include:

Cultivation: The growing of organic drugs or their precursors, e.g. marijuana, coca, opium poppies, etc.


Distribution: The act selling or trading drugs.


Manufacturing: Includes the creation of synthetic drugs and the act of isolating drug compounds from organic sources.


Possession: Having drugs or drug paraphernalia on one's person.
