How are Massachusetts Residents Effected by The Controlled Substances Act?

In Massachusetts, thousands of people are charged with drug crimes every year.  The U.S. Controlled Substances Act sets the criteria for what constitutes criminal offenses in the manufacturing, possession, sale and abuse of drugs. According to state and federal laws, a controlled substance considered to be a drug can be:

• Cocaine
• Heroin
• Methamphetamines
• Barbiturates
• Marijuana
• Illegally prescribed or abuse of prescription drugs
• Altered over-the-counter drugs
• Other illegal substances

The above list includes some of the most insidious drugs and some that when taken in moderation are actually beneficial.  For instance, prescription drugs that have been abused because an individual has taken more than prescribed because they were purchased illegally. 

If you have sold some of the less dangerous drugs such as marijuana, prescription drugs, or barbiturates you are just as guilty and you require strong representation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Contact The Law Office of Paul Moraski at (978) 397-0011 right away for aggressive help with your drug crime accusation.
