Las Vegas Drug Cultivation Lawyer

Are you in need of a drug cultivation attorney in Las Vegas? Drug cultivation and manufacturing laws make it illegal to grow or make controlled substances. Both state and federal laws apply to drug creation. Federal laws are more likely to apply when the drugs crossed state lines; when they were part of related federal crimes; or when there was a large amount of drugs.

What penalties apply to drug creation depends heavily on the drug and the amount of it, as well as whether you were charged under state or federal law. Generally, penalties are harsher under federal law; for larger amounts of the substance; and for drugs classified as more serious. Thus, someone who grows marijuana for personal use can expect to have a significantly lower punishment than someone who makes large amounts of crack cocaine. Penalties range from a fine and jail time to decades in prison. In addition, under federal law, law enforcement may confiscate property used to make or grow the drugs and anything bought with the proceeds of selling them.
