Possession of controlled substances carries harsh penalties depending on the amount and type of substance involved, including potential prison time and significant fines. Even simple possession can be charged as a felony in Washington.
Delivery charges can result from transferring drugs to another person, even without any monetary exchange. Simply handing drugs to someone else may constitute delivery under Washington law, making these charges easier to bring than many people realize.
Charges for possessing controlled substances with intent to sell carry serious consequences. Penalties depend on the substance type and quantity involved, and prosecutors often rely on circumstantial evidence such as packaging materials, scales, and cash to prove intent.
Creating drugs, growing controlled substances, and importing them into the state are all illegal activities that result in severe criminal charges. Manufacturing methamphetamine carries some of the harshest penalties in Washington's drug sentencing framework.
Possession of items such as syringes, bongs, pipes, or other drug-related objects constitutes a serious Washington crime that can carry its own penalties in addition to any underlying drug charges.
Driving while impaired by drugs can result in a DUI arrest and serious penalties upon conviction, including license suspension, mandatory treatment, and potential jail time.
Penalties for drug charges in Washington vary widely based on the type and quantity of substance, whether distribution is alleged, and your prior criminal history. Possession of a controlled substance can result in up to 5 years in prison for a felony charge. Manufacturing or delivery charges carry even steeper penalties, with sentences of up to 10 years for Schedule I and II substances such as heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine.
