Understanding Possession And Distribution In Iowa

Iowa’s drug laws are dependent on not just the actions but also the substances involved. The penalties can become more or less serious if you are charged with possession of fentanyl versus possession of marijuana.

In addition to the type of drug, the weight also matters. For example, possession of under half an ounce of marijuana is treated as a special class of serious misdemeanor with a penalty of up to six months in prison and a fine of $1,000. A larger amount leads to more serious penalties. Distribution charges are likewise impacted by substance and weight.

Whether you face a possession or distribution charge, you still have many rights in the criminal justice system. You deserve a legal team that is willing to protect them completely.
