What is the Sentence for Drug Possession in California?

In California, the sentence for drug possession of several controlled substances between Schedule I through Schedule V in any amount can be up to one year in jail.

According to Proposition 47, some circumstances do not allow for offenders to receive this sentence. If you are a registered sex offender or have been convicted of some specific violent crimes, you may be charged with a felony according to the type and amount of drug found in your possession.

Do not try to face these charges alone. In California, the court aggressively prosecutes drug crimes with little mercy. Your best defense is to request legal representation from a criminal defense attorney who can meet the charges with equal aggression.

We can keep you informed throughout your case. Rob Hammonds is proud to be accessible and willing to address all of your concerns and questions. You should never feel alone when facing drug crimes charges.
