Understanding Drug Crimes in Tucson

Drug crimes in Tucson encompass a wide range of offenses, from possession to trafficking, and are taken seriously by law enforcement and the courts. Arizona’s drug laws are complex, making legal guidance essential when facing charges. A clear understanding of these laws is crucial in building a strong defense.

In Arizona, drug crime convictions can lead to severe penalties, including prison time, jail time, substantial fines, long probation terms, counseling, and lasting consequences. The severity of the punishment often depends on factors such as the type and quantity of the drug involved, prior offenses, and whether minors were present. At Taylor Law Group, our top-rated criminal defense attorneys will guide you through the legal process, helping you understand how these laws apply to your case and developing a strategy to fight the charges against you.

Common Drug Offenses in Tucson

Controlled Substance Possession

In Tucson, it is illegal to possess controlled substances without a valid prescription. This includes drugs like Xanax, Oxycodone, Percocet, and many other prescription-only psychotropic medications. Drugs like cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and Fentanyl are always illegal for normal people to possess. Penalties for drug possession depend on factors such as the type and quantity of the drug involved. While marijuana possession may be legal in limited amounts, possessing marijuana in large quantities without a license or selling marijuana, THC, wax, etc., is still a felony offense. The DEA’s drug scheduling system plays a key role in determining the types of prohibited drugs and to some degree the severity of the penalties.

However, drug possession charges can be challenged based on the circumstances of the search and seizure and your arrest. Our legal team thoroughly examines whether law enforcement conducted a lawful search and seizure and ensures your constitutional rights were not violated. If improper procedures were used, we fight to have your charges reduced or dismissed. At Taylor Law Group, we are committed to providing a strong, strategic defense against drug possession charges.

Drug Trafficking

Drug trafficking involves the transportation, sale, or distribution of large quantities of illegal substances and is considered a serious felony in Arizona. A conviction can result in harsh penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and substantial fines. Depending on the type and amount of drugs involved, sentences can extend for years behind bars, making it critical to have a top-rated criminal defense team representing you.

At Taylor Law Group, we have extensive experience handling complex drug trafficking cases. Our team meticulously examines the investigation methods used by law enforcement.

Manufacturing Drugs

Drug manufacturing is a serious criminal offense in Arizona, covering the production, preparation, or processing of illegal substances or their precursor chemicals. Law enforcement aggressively prosecutes both large-scale operations and smaller setups, making these charges particularly severe. A conviction can lead to lengthy mandatory prison sentences, heavy fines, and lasting consequences. There is a heavy emphasis on Fentanyl and meth interdiction.

At Taylor Law Group, we understand the complexities of manufacturing charges and build strong defense strategies tailored to your case. We thoroughly investigate whether law enforcement violated your constitutional rights during the arrest or search. If improper procedures were used, we fight to have illegally obtained evidence dismissed.
