Understanding Drug Charges in Memphis
Tennessee drug charges cover a wide range of activities related to controlled substances. These charges are based on factors such as the type and quantity of the drug, intent (personal use versus distribution), and whether any special circumstances are involved. These circumstances can include the offense occurring in drug-free zones, the involvement of minors, or the use of weapons.
Like other states, Tennessee classifies controlled substances into “schedules” or categories based on their medical use and addictiveness. Schedules I through III include the most serious drugs, such as:
- Heroin
- Cocaine
- Fentanyl
- Methamphetamine
- Ketamine
- Ecstasy
- LSD
- Oxycodone
- Hydrocodone
Schedule IV through VII include less dangerous drugs, including prescription medicines. These can range from Valium to Adderall, marijuana, synthetic marijuana, and drugs with non-narcotic ingredients.
Law Office of Joshua N. Corman defends all Tennessee drug charges, including:
- Drug possession, including simple possession
- Drug trafficking and distribution
- Drug cultivation and manufacturing
- Heroin charges
- Marijuana charges
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
- Conspiracy
Tennessee Drug Crime Penalties
The penalties for drug crimes can be severe, leading to imprisonment, hefty fines, lengthy probation, and property/asset forfeiture. Furthermore, a conviction leaves you with a permanent criminal record which can be accessed online. This can affect future employment, housing, advanced education opportunities, and other personal aspects of your life like the ability to possess a firearm.
