Drug Possession In New Hampshire
You can be charged with possession for purchasing, transporting, possessing or having a controlled substance. If you are found with a controlled substance, you may be charged with drug possession resulting in a misdemeanor or Class B felony charge for the first offense and a felony for the second offense. Under New Hampshire law, your charge depends on the type of drug classified under different schedules, the amount, and the intent of the person in possession of a controlled drug.
New Hampshire Drug Trafficking
Trafficking controlled substances is a more serious offense. An individual may face this charge when believed to be selling, manufacturing or distributing Schedule I, II, III, IV and V substances. These include cocaine, LSD, PCP, heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana, hashish, flunitrazepam and other drugs listed in Schedules I through V.
Drug trafficking charges include:
- Manufacturing
- Selling
- Prescribing
- Administering
- Transporting
- Possession with the intent to sell, dispense or compound
Serious penalties are often imposed for trafficking convictions, so do not hesitate to contact a New Hampshire drug crimes lawyer as soon as you are arrested or discover that you are under suspicion of committing this crime. The type of drug, the amount discovered to be in the person’s possession, and whether it was the first or a subsequent offense influence the punishment.
