DRUG POSSESSION
Protecting Your Rights After a Possession Arrest
Being found in possession of drugs – whether it’s something as benign as marijuana or as serious as methamphetamines – is not a minor offense. In Nevada, being charged with drug possession can result in harsh penalties that can jeopardize your future and liberties.

When you come to our firm, you can trust that no stone will be left unturned and we will work tirelessly to combat any evidence presented against you.

Penalties for Drug Possession
While some states separate drug possession charges by drug type and amount, Nevada will enforce the same penalties for possession of cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, and meth. The severity of the crime, however, can depend on whether this is your first or subsequent offense.
Penalties for drug possession can include:
-
First or second offense: Crime is charged as a Class E felony and carries a sentence of one to four years in prison
-
Third offense: Crime is charged as a Class D felony and can include a prison sentence of four years and $20,000 in fines
