Understanding Drug Distribution Charges in Arizona

Drug distribution charges can vary depending on the type and amount of the drug involved, as well as the circumstances surrounding the case. It's important to understand "threshold amounts" because they can mean the difference between a simple possession charge and a more serious charge like distribution or trafficking. Threshold amounts are specific weights or values of illegal drugs that affect how serious your charges and penalties will be. Knowing these thresholds is crucial for building a strong defense.

Here are the common threshold amounts for some drugs:

  • Heroin: 1 gram
  • Cocaine: 9 grams
  • PCP: 4 grams or 50 milliliters
  • Methamphetamine (including liquid meth): 9 grams
  • Marijuana: 2 pounds

Drug Distribution Penalties in Arizona

Drug distribution offenses in Arizona are classified as felonies, with penalties that vary based on the type of drug involved and other factors such as prior convictions or if minors were involved. Charges related to selling drugs to minors are particularly severe, often resulting in lengthy prison sentences upon conviction.

Categories of Drug Distribution: Narcotic Drugs, Prescription Drugs, and Dangerous Drugs

Drug distribution charges are divided into three main categories: distribution of narcotic drugs, prescription-only drugs, and dangerous drugs.

  1. Narcotic Drugs
    • Offense: Transporting for sale, importing, or offering to transport.
    • Classification: Class 2 felony
    • Penalties: Ineligible for sentence suspension, probation, or pardon if the amount meets or exceeds the statutory threshold until the full sentence is served.
  2. Prescription-Only Drugs
    • Offense: Unauthorized transport, import, or offer to transport for sale.
    • Classification: Class 6 felony
    • Penalties: Probation is possible after completing at least 240 hours of community service.
  3. Dangerous Drugs
    • Offense: Transporting for sale, importing, or offering to transport for sale.
    • Classification: Class 2 felony
    • Penalties: Ineligible for probation or sentence suspension if the amount exceeds the statutory limit. Methamphetamine transportation carries a minimum penalty of five years and a maximum of 15 years in prison.

Charity was amazing and took care of everything. She answered all my questions quickly and was so polite. They took care of my case with ease and definitely took a load off my shoulders.
