Drug Convictions Can Come with Serious Criminal Consequences

To the Colorado police and district attorneys, crystal meth, ecstasy, cocaine and marijuana all have one thing in common: they warrant serious punishments. In addition to potential jail time or probation, if you are convicted of a drug offense in Colorado state courts, you are likely to face substantial fines and surcharges, loss of your driver’s license and you may lose eligibility for any federal student loans.

Psychologists have long recognized drug abuse and drug addiction to be serious health concerns, best addressed by mental health professionals. Unfortunately, the Colorado courts have not followed this logic.

Instead of receiving the help that they need, drug users who are convicted of drug trafficking or manufacturing are likely to be sent to jail. The biggest problem with this is that oftentimes, people are charged with drug trafficking or drug possession with intent to distribute, when in fact they are just drug users.

The police charge almost everyone who is caught possessing drugs with drug trafficking. This is ridiculous. I will work to ensure that unwarranted allegations do not turn into a conviction. Contact me today.
