Drug / Narcotics Conspiracy

Anyone who, in any way, knowingly helps facilitate or furthers the criminal sale, distribution or trafficking of controlled substances or narcotics can be charged with Drug Conspiracy.

Lawyers know a conspirator never has to actually come into contact with the actual drugs. It is simply enough to make phone calls, set up buys and sells drugs.

In certain jurisdictions and circumstances, you can be charged with drug conspiracy if you are aware there is narcotics activity and you help facilitate it by allowing it to continue and do nothing to stop it. Very often, law enforcement will indict people with this crime to use it as leverage in order to get their cooperation with the prosecution of a bigger fish.

Drug Conspiracy Offense Consequences

Since the advent of the "war on drugs" in the 1980's, the government at all levels has aggressively pursued drug convictions. Drug crimes are considered "gateway crimes" that can eventually lead to other types of crimes including white collar, violent and sexual crimes. Big drug busts mean big publicity for prosecutors and politicians.

Citizens who may be in involved in conspiracy, possession or distribution of drugs, including prescription and illicit, are favorite targets of prosecutors because drug convictions tend to be easier to get than other types of crime. The prevalence of drug use leads many people to assume criminal drug offense are minor, "victimless" crimes.

On the contrary, drug crimes have among the most aggressive sentencing guidelines in the criminal justice system. Even a misdemeanor for possession can result in a criminal record, loss of your drivers' license and difficulty in keeping or getting jobs. Convictions on conspiracy, possession of controlled substances, selling or trafficking drugs can result in long prison terms with mandatory sentencing guidelines. This is why narcotics offenses must be fought with an extremely skilled and vigorous drug lawyer.
