If you or a loved one are charged with a drug crime in Oregon, it is critical to obtain legal representation from a defense attorney with experience in this area. A drug conviction can have detrimental job consequences and cause significant personal setbacks. It can destroy reputation and reduce one’s ability to attain a higher position in their career. Drug convictions can also eliminate the opportunity to receive financial aid for college. The penalties for drug convictions can carry mandatory prison sentences. No matter the level or quantity of the substance, drug crimes are serious matters.

Drug Charges
Drug crimes in Oregon fall under three primary categories:
Drug Possession Cases
Possession of a Controlled Substance (“PCS”) is typically charged when law enforcement finds a relatively small amount of drugs without the presence of aggravating factors. However, depending on certain circumstances and the amount and type of drugs recovered by police, a PCS conviction can carry a mandatory prison sentence. PCS charges are typically prosecuted when law enforcement recovers drugs in an individual’s vehicle, home, or on his or her person.
Drug Manufacturing Cases (Manufacture of a Controlled Substance “MCS”)
Manufacture of a Controlled Substance (“MCS”) is charged when a person is alleged to have been making or growing a drug. In Oregon, MCS can also be charged when a person is alleged to have packaged a drug.
Drug Delivery or Drug Dealing cases (Delivery of a Controlled Substance “DCS”)
Delivery of a Controlled Substance (“DCS”) is charged when a person is alleged to have been dealing drugs. No drug sale is necessary to be charged with DCS in Oregon. Simply having a specific amount of drugs or packaging materials can result in a DCS charge.
