Under California law, a “drug crime” refers to any unlawful act that involves an illegal substance. The most commonly abused illegal substances include cocaine, heroin, marijuana, LSD, PCP, methamphetamine, Ecstasy, and certain prescription drugs like OxyContin and Vicodin.  These types of crimes often result in severe legal punishment, such as incarceration, probation, steep fines, mandatory drug treatment, community service, and a mark on your permanent record.

Drug crimes account for the majority of the criminal activity in Southern California, and are responsible for the delinquency and wrongdoing of thousands of people every year.
