Drug Possession & Trafficking

Montgomery Drug Possession & Trafficking Lawyers

Unfortunately, the state of Ohio is going through a drug epidemic that does not bode well for anyone found in possession of controlled substances or unauthorized prescription drugs. According to the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), drug overdose deaths are on the rise. The abundance of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine, opioids, new psychoactive substances, and more on our streets has resulted in skyrocketing drug use, arrests, charges, and convictions. 

This means that law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges are more focused on finding and penalizing drug offenders than ever while more resources are directed in this direction. While nonviolent first offenders may still be eligible for diversion programs that focus on rehabilitation as opposed to punishment, if you are caught possessing dealing, or trafficking drugs, you may be facing severe penalties. Because of this, it is more important than ever to turn to a highly-qualified and experienced criminal defense lawyer. At Gump & Deal, you will find that our drug crime lawyers have a solid track record in successfully resolving these types of cases through strategic defense plans geared toward the best possible results.

Drug Crimes in Ohio

Like the federal government, Ohio classifies controlled substances into “schedules.” These are categories of drugs based on their perceived ability to harm, medical use, and addictiveness. Schedule I and II contain the most dangerous drugs, such as heroin, LSD, MDMA, cocaine, fentanyl, and prescription drugs such as OxyContin and Vicodin. 

How you are charged in any drug crime will depend on the type of drug found in your possession, its amount, your previous convictions, if any, and any other relevant factors, such as if you were found dealing drugs near a school or where children congregate. 

Ohio drug crimes can include:

  • Possession
  • Trafficking (possession with intent to sell) which includes preparation, transfer, distribution, supply, or sale 
  • Manufacturing which includes growing, producing, harvesting, preparing, or otherwise producing controlled substances
  • Drug paraphernalia which includes anything used in preparing or administering drugs
