Aggressive Advocacy for the Accused
Possession
The Massachusetts drug crime of Possession of a Controlled Substance is governed by General Laws Chapter 94C, Section 34 and can include cocaine, marijuana, heroin, oxycontin/oxycodone or any other number of other controlled substances.
By definition, “possession” involves the knowing or intentional possession, whether actual or constructive, of any quantity of a controlled substance.
If you have been charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance, the potential penalties you may face further depends on the type of illegal drug with which you are charged. For example, a first time offender for Unlawful Possession of Marijuana faces up to 6 months imprisonment in the House of Corrections and a fine of up to $500.00; whereas a first time offender for Unlawful Possession of Heroin faces up to 2.5 years in the House of Corrections and a find of up to $2000.00.
Penalties also vary depending on whether you are a first time or repeat offender; are currently on probation for a drug crime or even for some other crime; as well as the weight and quantity of the illegal drug.
