Arizona's Drug Penalties Are Harsh

In the state of Arizona, drug possession crimes and their associated penalties
fall into three different categories that are based on the type of substance
and the amount of drugs found in your possession. For example, the possession
of dangerous drugs like methamphetamines, LSD, or steroids is a Class
1 Misdemeanor that can result in up to 6 months of jail. Narcotics possession,
such as for drugs like cocaine, heroin, and morphine, is a Class 5 Felony
that includes up to 18 months in prison. Finally, marijuana possession
is a Class 6 Felony that can result in a 1-year prison sentence.
Aside from the legal penalties, drug convictions can have broad implications
on many areas of your life. A criminal conviction can derail applications
for employment, schooling, housing, bank accounts, and more.
