Sentences For Drug Possession in Colorado

Drug possession sentences in Colorado vary based on a number of different factors. The most common drug crimes in Colorado involve cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, methamphetamine, and prescription pills. A sentence for possession of under an ounce of marijuana is punishable by up to a $100 fine, while possession of other drugs, such as cocaine, methamphetamine and ecstasy, can land you in prison for a first offense. For example, possession of less than one gram of cocaine is a felony punishable by up to 18 months in the Colorado Department of Corrections for a first offense with no aggravating facts. Possession of 100 pounds or more of marijuana can lead to a Special Offender charge.
