If you’ve been accused of transportation of drugs, you are facing some serious charges. Under Arizona law, drug-related crimes come with some of the harshest penalties.

How Does Arizona Define Transportation of Drugs

If law enforcement officers found illegal drugs in your home, on your person, in your vehicle, or at another location under your control, they will analyze the substance and measure its quantity. If they find more than would be reasonably assumed you could possess for personal use, you will be charged with transportation with the intent to sell.

The legal thresholds for common drugs include:

Methamphetamine: 9 grams
Powdered cocaine: 9 grams
Rock cocaine: ¾ of a gram
Heroin: 1 gram
LSD: ½ millimeter or 50 dosage units
PCP: 4 grams or 50 milliliters
Marijuana: More than 2 pounds

Drug transportation convictions carry heavy penalties, with substantial prison time, even in cases in which the quantities do not meet the threshold for a charge of intent to sell. If the amounts were above the threshold, you could face even longer in state prison. If you are accused of transporting drugs, the road ahead could be difficult without the help of an attorney. The quality and experience of your defense lawyer could not be more critical in these high-stakes drug cases.

“Derek is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! When I called the office I was in shambles. I felt overwhelmed and afraid. Immediately Derek gave me a sense of relief and reassurance. He was very courteous & patient with me and my numerous nervous texts. His communication alone is 5 starts! I knew after my 1st meeting with him that I was in good hands and not alone. I felt so much shame but not once did Derek show any kind of judgment. He was courteous, kind and gave me piece of mind throughout the entire process. Thank you Derek for giving me a new chance at life.”
