Drug Crimes in Torrance, California

Drug crimes are defined as the possession, distribution, sale, cultivation, manufacturing, transportation, importation, or trafficking in illegal drugs or controlled substances. Under the Controlled Substance Act, such drugs as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, crack, LSD, MDMA (ecstasy), methamphetamine, and steroids are illegal as well as the unauthorized obtaining of prescription drugs like Vicodin, Oxycontin, Valium and others.

Drug crimes are both state and federal offenses. All drug crimes in California are taken seriously by law enforcement agencies and may be prosecuted vigorously. Conviction of a drug crime carries the possibility of imprisonment, heavy fines, probation, community service, and court-ordered drug counseling.  The penalties for any drug offense will be dictated by the nature and severity of the offense, what type of drugs were involved, and the quantity. If minors were used or solicited in the offense, the charges and penalties may be made harsher. Prior convictions may also add to the severity of the penalties handed down by the court.
