It is well known that the laws for drug possession, as well as drug manufacture, in Georgia are relatively strict. Even the simple possession of a small amount of marijuana in Georgia can lead you into serious trouble with the authorities. Therefore, it is easy to imagine that possession of more serious drugs, such as methamphetamine, have even more serious consequences.
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive synthetic drug. It is also a very dangerous one, and therefore the authorities do everything that they can in order to keep it off the streets. Although it can be prescribed, it is far more often used illegally as a simulating drug. If you are found with it on your possession, it is vital that you learn of the legal consequences so that you can work to defend yourself immediately.
What will be the consequences of methamphetamine possession in Georgia?
The legal implications of methamphetamine possession will depend on the amount that is found in your possession. However, because it is listed as a Schedule II drug, even being found with 2g or less could result in jail time of one to three years.
May there be a possibility of an alternate sentence?
In methamphetamine cases, the courts would much rather make sure that you never offend again than to see you be put in jail only to reoffend. Therefore there are possibilities to request rehabilitation treatments as an alternative sentence.
If you have been found in possession of methamphetamine in Georgia, it is vital that you take action so that you can build your defense.
