New Jersey drug crimes lawyer Adam M. Lustberg releases a new blog post (https://www.lustberglaw.com/drug-crimes/) that explains the complexity of drug cases in Hackensack, New Jersey. The lawyer mentions that drug cases are often very complicated and carry serious penalties if the accused is convicted. This is why is very important to have a high-quality defense in order for the accused to protect their rights.
According to the New Jersey drug crimes lawyer, “In New Jersey, the four most common drug charges are Possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance, Possession with Intent to Distribute, Distribution, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. The severity of your charges will be dependent upon the type of drug and the amount of drug that you are alleged to have.”
The lawyer explains that charges for a drug crime offense may vary and can range from disorderly person offenses to first-degree offenses. There are many different degrees of drug crime offenses and these offenses, along with their punishments, are also outlined in the article.
Attorney Adam M. Lustbers says in the article that possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana is considered a disorderly person offense. This offense is punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a fine of $1,000 as well as suspension of the accused person’s driver’s license.
Another penalty the lawyer talks about in the article is the punishment to those who are caught in possession of more than 50 grams of marijuana. The lawyer says that this is going to be considered a fourth-degree criminal offense and the accused can be punished with up to 18 months in prison and a fine of up to $15,000.
Furthermore, the criminal defense lawyer also discusses the punishment for possession of Narcotics or Controlled Dangerous Substances. The drug crimes attorney says that this kind of offense can carry three to five years in prison and can have a fine that ranges from $1,000 to $25,000. This offense may also carry a revocation of driver’s license, mandatory drug rehab, and education programs.
