Los Angeles Drug Crime Attorney
Have you been accused of a cocaine violation?
The United States is the largest consumer of cocaine in the world where it is used illegally as a recreational drug. Derived from the coca plant, cocaine is a drug that works by stimulating the nervous system. This addictive substance is illegal in most parts of the world unless allowed for medical reasons. Cocaine can be taken orally, through the nose, or by injection. It is the most popular in the middle and upper classes and is often used as a party drug.
According to California Health and Safety §11000, the mere possession of cocaine can be punished by time in state prison for two to four years. If the offender had more in their possession than would be used for individual use, the penalties will increase. Sale to minors under eighteen could be punished by up to seven years in prison and sale to school children up to nine years. Not only that, but if the sale was in vicinity to a school, church, day care, etc., additional years will be added.
