FIVE WAYS TO FIGHT A DRUG POSSESSION CHARGE IN COLORADO

Using a controlled substance is only a level 2 drug misdemeanor, which is a petty minor offense. Under CRS 18-18-404(1)(a), defendants face no jail time. The sole penalty is a fine of $500 to $750.

The term controlled substance refers both to illegal narcotics as well as prescription drugs. Obviously, using prescription drugs is illegal if you have a current and valid doctor's prescription.

Even though using a controlled substance is not a serious offense, it looks bad in background checks. So defendants are encouraged to hire an attorney to fight the charges. Common defenses to possession charges are:

1) There is no evidence of the possession;
2) The defendant had a valid prescription and used the drugs as instructed by the physician;
3) The drug test violated the defendant's constitutional rights;
4) The drug test results were not reliable;
5) The police committed misconduct and tainted the evidence;
