Drug Manufacturing
Seattle-Tacoma Lawyers: Drug Manufactoring
Growing marijuana or manufacturing drugs like methamphetamine are usually prosecuted as federal crimes. Current laws on the books also allow investigators to charge someone in cases where so-called "starter" chemicals are found that are used in the manufacturing of certain drugs.

Consequences of a conviction for drug possession
Whether you face illegal drug charges or a prescription drug offense, you face fines, time in jail or prison, and driver's license suspensions. These penalties can be especially severe for minors & Underage Drinking. Depending on the charge and other aspects of your specific situation, you may be eligible for a diversion program, drug or alcohol classes, a First-Time Offender Waiver, or a Drug Offender Sentencing Alternative (DOSA). Our lawyers regularly work with prosecutors and judges throughout the state of Washington to get the most favorable results and sentencing options for our clients.
Possession with intent to deliver, VUCSA
Possession of drugs with intent to sell or deliver them is a much more serious offense than simple possession for personal use. The charges may be based on the amount of marijuana, meth, or cocaine in your possession, drug distribution paraphernalia such as plastic bags or a scale, or the presence of a large amount of cash. In Washington State a person arrested for simple drug possession will often be charged under the Violation of Uniform Controlled Substances Act (VUCSA), and the wrong set of circumstances can lead prosecutors and police to accuse such a person of possession with intent to deliver/sell, which carries a mandatory prison sentence.
