For over twenty five years, our Denver drug crimes attorneys have represented persons charged with Drug Felony cases as well as Drug Misdemeanor cases.  These cases very often involve litigation focused upon the basis for the law enforcement contact and the legality of the search of a person, car, residence or personal belongings. These cases can be brought through a Grand Jury Indictment as part of a larger alleged conspiracy involving many co-defendants, or as a stand alone case. Determining the legality of the stop and search is the starting analysis point in every case.

Colorado Drug Scheduling & Penalties

Drug charges can be extremely serious, especially if you are convicted. Under Colorado law, drug crimes are classified as either Schedule I, II, or III. The schedule of a drug is determined by the potential for abuse and the accepted medical use. Schedule I drugs are the most serious and carry the most severe penalties upon conviction. Schedule II drugs are less serious and carry lesser penalties.

Schedule I drugs include:

  • Marijuana

  • Ecstasy

  • Heroin

  • LSD

  • Peyote

  • Magic mushrooms

Schedule II drugs include:

  • Cocaine

  • Methamphetamines

  • Morphine

  • Opium

  • Heroin

If you are convicted of a drug crime, you will be required to register as a controlled substance user with the state. You will be required to register for at least three years and possibly for the rest of your life. You will be required to report any change of address, employment, or school within ten days of the change. You will also be subject to random searches by law enforcement officers.
