Your freedom may hinge on the skill and knowledge of your attorney.

What are the Types of Drug Crimes in Colorado?

A controlled substance is an illegal drug that is prohibited by law to be manufactured, distributed, or to have in possession. According to the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA), there are five categories or “schedules” of controlled substances, based on the potential for addiction and abuse: Schedule I, Schedule II, Schedule III, Schedule IV, and Schedule V.

The most common types of drug crimes related to controlled substances include:

  • Possession of marijuana or drug paraphernalia
  • Possession of meth, cocaine, heroin or other illegal drug
  • Illegal possession of prescription narcotics (e.g. Vicodin, Oxycontin)
  • Possession with intent to sell
  • Distribution/drug trafficking
  • Cultivating or manufacture
  • Drug-related theft, fraud, weapons charges or money laundering

Colorado Drug Crime Penalties

Depending on the circumstances of each situation, and whether or not there are prior convictions or a significant quantity of a controlled substance involved, the penalties for drug crimes in Colorado can range significantly from heavy fines and rehabilitation to jail time. Drug crime penalties can also affect day-to-life post sentence. According to statistics, individuals with a criminal record have fewer employment prospects (convicted felons cannot work in healthcare, law enforcement, finance, government, or education) and educational resources (convicted felons are ineligible for financial aid), and can even have a difficult time finding stable housing, as most landlords routinely perform background checks on prospective tenants.

She is great at her job and takes cases seriously … don’t have much hope leave it to Caryn she will change that. Thanks Gasper law group you’re the best!

    "A courteous, respectful, and efficient group in all phases and aspects of due diligence"
    Highly professional team of attorneys and paralegal staff who work hard to reach the best outcomes for their clients. A courteous, respectful, and efficient group in all phases and aspects of due diligence, and discovery with effective preparation of cases entrusted to them. The partner representing me, Ms. Caryn Adams was truly impressive in her knowledge of the law, her empathy, and her care for getting the best possible resolution in my favor in pre-trial negotiation. And I have no doubt she and her team would be just as dedicated and efficient in more complex defense situations. I recommend them highly and without reservation in all areas of the law in which they are eminently qualified.

    "The professionalism, guidance, and candor I’ve received from each person in this law firm has been beyond reproach."

    I’m not one to have an extensive experience with law firms or lawyers and court in general. However, the professionalism, guidance, and candor I’ve received from each person in this law firm have been beyond reproach. Anytime, I mean, anytime, I’ve had a question about my case and the way forward, I was met with a friendly and constructive conversation about my case. There was never a doubt in my mind, that I made the right choice when I selected this law firm to represent me. Caryn and Stacie have been a wonderful blessing to my life and my legal proceedings. If you are looking for a no-BS law firm that has a significant reputation in the Springs area, I absolutely recommend this one. Even though I hope to not have to deal with this again, fingers crossed and every lucky charm, I’d trust this law firm with my representation to handle the hard stuff and give me ease with court proceedings. Thank you all for what you do and have done for me, my family, and my career. Bless you all.

    Caryn Adams, Stacey Sadler and the rest of the team at the Gasper law group are an amazing, courteous, compassionate, and very helpful group of talented individuals. I was in a bind and during my consultation I explained my situation and they went above and beyond my expectations. They took care of my case in a very timely manner and made it feel like my traffic ticket was their number one and only priority. I have never been treated with such respect and compassion. I definitely recommend talking to them about any of your legal needs.
