Oklahoma Criminal Drug Charges and Penalties PDF Print E-mail

For years, public policy has called for extreme penalties for anyone convicted of drug charges or drug trafficking. Depending on the nature of the situation leading to the arrest, state or federal charges may be faced, or even both in some situations. The federal government alone spends approximately twenty billion dollars annually in enforcing drug trafficking and drug possession laws.

 

Drug possession laws consider possession of the following drugs a crime: marijuana, cocaine, heroine, LSD, PCP, hallucinogens, methamphetamines, unauthorized prescription medication, and other illegal drugs. A first time offense for possession of marijuana or other related paraphernalia will more likely than not result in a misdemeanor; the cultivation and sale of marijuana usually ends in a felony. Other drug possession charges are usually much more serious. Many Oklahoma felony drug charges carry mandatory prison time. Anyone convicted of a serious drug offense faces stiff penalties under Oklahoma criminal law. The punishment ranges for drug offenses vary, but a conviction may carry jail or prison time, punitive fines, loss of driving privileges, counseling, probation, and community service. A felony drug conviction can remain on your record for life. Depending upon the type and quantity of the drug seized, an Oklahoma drug crime may even be punishable by life in prison without parole.

If you have been charged with a drug-related crime, it is critical to find an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. Luckily, there are several rights guaranteed to every defendant under the Constitution, which is critical in regards to your defense. Atkins & Markoff is a law firm that has provided Oklahoma criminal defense representation for years, and our defense attorneys understand all of the rights that are due to anyone who’s accused. Please contact us immediately.
