Drug / Gun Crimes

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages.

What are the Different Categories of Drug Charges?

In Georgia, there are several different categories of drug crimes:

  • Drug Possession

  • Drug Distribution

  • Drug Manufacturing

  • Drug Trafficking

As an experienced drug attorney, I can tell you that drug trafficking is the most severe of the charges. It is defined as possessing, selling, distributing, or manufacturing a large amount of illegal drugs. The quantity involved is what sets this charge apart from the others. There is a mandatory prison sentence for drug trafficking which means if you are convicted, there is a minimum number of years that you must go to jail, regardless of any extenuating circumstances or the judge’s discretion. The mandatory prison sentence length depends on which drug was being trafficked and the amount involved.
