Denver drug distribution defense attorney

Distribution of drugs in Colorado is a serious felony. Colorado law mandates drug distribution, manufacturing, dispensing without a license, sale, or possession with intent to distribute as extraordinary risk crimes, which means longer prison sentences for convictions. For example, possession with intent to distribute cocaine or methamphetamine, with no aggravating factors, could land you in prison for up to sixteen years for a first offense. In addition, the sentencing range for drug distribution offenses are enhanced based on additional factors, such as the weight of drugs involved.

Colorado Revised Statute 18-18-405(1)(a) reads “it is unlawful for any person knowingly to manufacture, dispense, sell, distribute, possess, or to possess with intent to manufacture, dispense, sell, or distribute a controlled substance; or induce, attempt to induce, or conspire with one or more other persons, to manufacture, dispense, sell, distribute, possess, or possess with intent to manufacture, dispense, sell, or distribute a controlled substance; or possess one or more chemicals or supplies or equipment with intent to manufacture a controlled substance.”

A Special Offender charge in Colorado is a Class 2 Felony. Special Offender charges are filed by the district attorney for drug distribution charges if certain facts are present, such as a prior felony drug conviction, whether the transaction occurred near a school, the use of special skill or knowledge, or if a firearm was present.

The most common drugs that are prosecuted under Title 18 are cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, ecstasy and prescription pills. However, there are dozens of controlled substances listed as illegal controlled substances in Colorado.
