Salt Lake City Utah Drug Trafficking and Manufacturing Defense Lawyers
Utah's laws regarding drug manufacturing, distributing and trafficking cover offenses as seemingly minor as sharing a joint with a companion and sharing a controlled pain pill with a suffering friend. They also cover larger offenses like the mass production of methamphetamines and the interstate transport of illegal and controlled drugs.
Numerous clients have been shocked to learn of how strictly drug use is controlled. Drug use within 1,000 feet of a hospital, park, school, theater or other places where children congregate greatly increases the charge. Even if you use a drug in your home and your home is within 1,000 feet of a gathering spot for kids, you can face greatly enhanced charges.
Other unanticipated laws related to drug use include 1) mandatory driver's license suspension for six months for the possession of even residual quantities of illegal drugs and controlled drugs without a prescription and 2) greatly enhanced charges for drug use if a weapon is present, including hunting weapons in a closet in your own home.
If you face charges of drug manufacturing, cultivating, distributing or trafficking, call the attorneys of the criminal defense law firm of Stone & Law for aggressive legal defense with one aim — your freedom through acquittal or dismissal of charges.
