Sustancias controladas

El Código de Indiana penaliza la posesión, distribución y fabricación de sustancias controladas. Las sustancias controladas son drogas con probabilidad de abuso.

La Asamblea General de Indiana ha organizado las sustancias controladas en cinco listas: Listas I-V.

• • Lista I: Drogas callejeras con un "alto potencial de abuso" como la marihuana, el éxtasis, el LSD y la heroína.

• • Lista II: Drogas menos adictivas de la calle o drogas farmacéuticas con un "alto potencial de abuso" como cocaína, PCP, metanfetamina, morfina, oxicodona, hidrocodona y codeína.

• • Lista III: fármacos menos adictivos con un riesgo moderado o alto de dependencia física o psicológica, como los esteroides o Suboxone.

• • Lista IV: fármacos poco adictivos con bajo riesgo de dependencia física o psicológica, como somníferos, relajantes musculares y estabilizadores del estado de ánimo.

• • Lista V: Drogas farmacéuticas con aún menos probabilidad de abuso o dependencia que las drogas de la Lista IV, como pequeñas cantidades de codeína.

Las sustancias controladas incluyen tanto las drogas de la calle como las drogas farmacéuticas. Las drogas farmacéuticas requieren receta médica válida. Sin una receta, la posesión o el tráfico de una droga farmacéutica es ilegal. Para obtener información adicional, consulte a un abogado con experiencia Indianápolis delito de drogas.

Fabricación

The Indiana Code groups manufacturing, financing the manufacturing, delivery, and financing the delivery of a controlled substance as “dealing in” a narcotic or controlled substance.

Manufacturing involves concocting, cooking, or growing a controlled substance. This can involve combining ingredients to make an illegal street drug such as methamphetamine from scratch. This can also involve planting marijuana seeds, watering the plants, and harvesting them.

Manufacturing a controlled substance requires either knowledge or intent. You must either know you are manufacturing something that is prohibited by law, or you must intend to manufacture such a substance.

Además, aunque usted no participe en el proceso de fabricación propiamente dicho, puede ser procesado en virtud de esta ley si financia de algún modo la fabricación de la droga, como la compra de equipos o ingredientes.

Entrega

La entrega suele denominarse venta, distribución o tráfico. Cuando una sustancia controlada cambia de manos de una persona a otra, se ha producido una entrega. Esto puede ocurrir cuando un traficante vende una droga a otro o cuando un fabricante transfiere un producto acabado al traficante.

A menudo, la policía no tendrá pruebas de una transferencia directa de mano a mano. Sin embargo, si una sustancia controlada sale de su posesión y entra en posesión de otra persona, usted puede ser acusado, incluso si esa persona no estaba presente en el momento de la entrega. Por ejemplo, si usted deja una droga en la calle en casa de alguien que no está presente, usted ha entregado la sustancia.

Like manufacturing, financing the delivery is also criminalized. If you are not involved in the physical delivery, but you provide some financial assistance towards the delivery, such as paying someone to deliver the drugs or supplying the vehicle, you can be charged and speaking with a knowledgeable Indianapolis drug crime lawyer at Eskew Law may be in your best interest.

Además, la entrega requiere conocimiento o intención. Si tiene la intención de transferir la propiedad de una sustancia controlada, es penalmente responsable. Sin embargo, si no tenía ni idea de que la sustancia era una droga ilegal, no puede ser condenado en virtud de la ley.

Posesión con intención de distribuir

Sometimes, the Indianapolis police suspect that you are going to sell, distribute, or otherwise deliver a controlled substance but have no overt evidence of a delivery. The police may then arrest you for possession with intent to distribute (PWID).

PWID is usually charged when a substantial amount of the drug is present to indicate it is not for personal use. In addition, PWID is also coupled with circumstantial evidence of dealing, such as Ziplock baggies, large amounts of cash, or a scale.

The drugs do not have to be found on your person in order for you to be charged. There are two types of criminalized possession: actual possession and constructive possession. Actual possession occurs when you are in direct physical possession of the drug. It is in your hand or in your pockets.

Constructive possession occurs when you have knowledge of the drugs, as well as the present intent and ability to control the drugs. Constructive PWID is often charged when drugs are found in someone’s car or home.

For example, if drugs are found in your bedroom nightstand, the prosecutor may introduce evidence that the bedroom belonged to you and that only you had access to the nightstand. In either event, you may wish to consult an aggressive criminal defense lawyer in Indianapolis, IN.

Posesión

La posesión de una sustancia controlada es similar al PWID. Sin embargo, el cargo es generalmente menor ya que la posesión está asociada con el uso personal. Asimismo, la posesión simple puede ser real o constructiva. Posesion simple es el crimen de drogas mas comun en Indiana y esta asociado con penas menores.

Posibles sentencias

The potential sentences for dealing in a controlled substance, possession with intent to distribute, and simple possession all vary based on the type of drug and the amount, as well as other aggravating factors such as your criminal history and the presence of a weapon.

Generally speaking, though, dealing in a controlled substance is a felony. For example, dealing in cocaine is a Level 5 felony, punishable by 1 to 6 years in state prison and up to $10,000 in fines.

The sentence can be enhanced if the dealing occurs on school property, a school bus, or public park grounds or at a youth center or public housing complex or if there is a gun present, the accused has a prior conviction for dealing drugs or if there is enough quantity of the drug.

However, simple possession can range from a misdemeanor to a felony. For example, possession of less than 30 grams of marijuana is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 180 days in county jail, while possession of more than 30 grams is a Level 6 felony.
