Drug Offenses Law

Drug offenses law refers to legal rules governing the possession, distribution, manufacture, and trafficking of controlled substances (like illegal drugs). These laws vary by jurisdiction and classify drugs into different categories based on their potential for abuse and medical use. Violations can range from simple possession of a small amount of a drug to serious charges like trafficking large quantities. Penalties may include fines, imprisonment, or both, depending on the offense's severity and prior convictions. The law aims to control drug abuse, protect public safety, and, in some cases, provide pathways for treatment and rehabilitation.
