Common Drug Crimes in Maryland

Maryland law recognizes a wide range of drug offenses, each with varying penalties based on the type and quantity of the drug, the defendant's criminal history, and the nature of the alleged offense. Below are some of the most common drug crimes prosecuted in Maryland:

• Drug Possession: Possession of controlled dangerous substances (CDS) such as marijuana, heroin, cocaine, or methamphetamines is one of the most frequently charged drug crimes. Maryland law distinguishes between simple possession for personal use and possession with intent to distribute, with the latter carrying significantly harsher penalties.
• Drug Trafficking and Distribution: These charges involve the sale, transport, or delivery of controlled substances. This can often include accusations of large-scale operations and can result in mandatory minimum sentences, particularly if the offense involves drugs like heroin or fentanyl.
• Possession with Intent to Distribute: A charge of possession with intent to distribute is often based on the quantity of drugs found, the presence of paraphernalia such as scales or baggies, and other evidence that suggests the intent to sell or distribute. A strong legal defense can challenge the validity of this evidence to seek dismissal or reduction of charges.
• Prescription Drug Fraud: Illegally obtaining or distributing prescription medications, such as opioids or sedatives, is a growing concern in Maryland. Charges may include forging prescriptions, doctor shopping, or trafficking prescription drugs. These cases often require a nuanced defense to address both the legal and medical aspects of the allegations.
• Marijuana Possession and Distribution: Although Maryland has decriminalized small amounts of marijuana for personal use, possession of larger quantities or distribution remains a criminal offense. Understanding the evolving marijuana laws is critical to mounting an effective defense.
• Drug Manufacturing: Producing controlled substances, including growing marijuana plants or operating methamphetamine labs, is a serious offense that may involve federal charges. These cases often involve complex investigations requiring a detailed legal strategy.
