Los Angeles Manufacturing Drugs Attorney

Are you facing a manufacturing drugs charge in California? Get in touch with a manufacturing drugs attorney who will fight for you, no matter what.

If you’ve been arrested for allegedly manufacturing drugs in California, you could be facing steep penalties that could follow you around for the rest of your life. Even though California has been relaxed on marijuana laws, that doesn’t mean that it’s loosened its laws regarding other drugs as well.

You may be in a tough situation right now, but by learning more about the manufacturing of drugs in California, you’ll potentially be able to position yourself for a better outcome in your case. Here’s some more information on manufacturing drugs, as well as what to do now that you’ve been charged.

What Is Manufacturing Drugs?

Manufacturing drugs is also known as manufacturing controlled substances. In the state of California, there are five schedules of controlled substances:

  • Schedule I drugs: Opiates, hallucinogens, peyote, and heroin
  • Schedule II drugs: Morphine, Adderall, oxycodone, fentanyl, and raw opium
  • Schedule III drugs: Pentobarbital and anabolic steroids
  • Schedule IV drugs: Ambien, Valium, and Xanax
  • Schedule V drugs: Robitussin AC and Motofen

Illegal and legal drugs fall under different schedules, with Schedule I drugs being the most serious ones and Schedule V drugs being the least serious in terms of harmful effects.

Along with physically manufacturing drugs, it is illegal to compound, derive, prepare, or produce controlled substances directly or indirectly. You could be charged with manufacturing drugs even if you were making a substance that would go into the final product and not the final product itself. In another situation, you could be charged if you were overseeing the manufacturing of drugs, even if you didn’t do it yourself.

Proving You Were Manufacturing Drugs

Defending Yourself Against a Manufacturing Drugs Charge

Defenses for manufacturing drugs include illegal search and seizure and challenging the credibility of informants. You could have also been part of an entrapment scheme, which could qualify as police misconduct and be a viable defense. Also, even if you prepared for the manufacturing process but did not initiate it, then this could be a defense. Someone might have falsely accused you of manufacturing drugs, too.
