All California drug related crimes are very serious matters, and depending upon the circumstances, carry with them severe legal consequences. If you are convicted of a drug charge, there are many different penalties that you may be confronted with, such as monetary fines, probation, and/or a jail term. A drug related conviction on your criminal record may cause many problems in your personal and professional life, as it may minimize your chance of obtaining a good job or a place to live.
Some defendants in drug related cases may even be able to avoid jail entirely and complete a drug diversion course or drug rehab program. In fact, Proposition 36 was created to give first time, non-violent, drug offenders an alternative to jail by allowing them to undergo probation and a drug rehab program. The rehab lasts for one year, and there is typically a subsequent six month period in which the defendant receives follow up care.
