California’s Drug Sale & Transportation Laws
It’s not uncommon for those who are convicted of drug sale or transportation to face heavy penalties. While California is one of the states that’s leading the way for relaxing drug laws and reducing penalties for non-violent drug offenders, it’s still worth noting that being found guilty of selling certain substances is punishable by large fines, jail or prison time, and much more.
HS 11352 applies to a number of controlled substances, including the following:
- Cocaine
- Heroin
- Peyote
- LSD
- Oxycodone
- Hydrocodone
- Vicodin
However, drug sales and transportation of other substances is defined under different codes. For example, HS 11379 covers the sale or transportation of methamphetamines, and 11360 covers marijuana. California’s marijuana laws have relaxed considerably and personal consumption is legal in restricted circumstances, however sale of marijuana is still considered against the law. GHB, ecstasy, PCP, and ketamine are all covered under different laws and have different penalties associated with a conviction.
The only way to know for sure what you’re up against is to talk to a Newport Beach drug crimes attorney about the circumstances of your case. The type of substance you have, the amount of it, your intention in possessing it, and previous criminal history will all affect your case and change the penalties you might be facing.
