Re: drug charges

Yes, but it depends on the substance. Meth (and others)is 11379. Cocaine & heroin (and others) are 11352.

The punishment is greater for 11352.

Re: drug charges

Usually the difference is the type of drug found by law enforcement. Generally the bulk of 11379 cases have to do with meth while the 11352 cases have to do with cocaine. You may visit my website at www.wallinlaw.com. Thank you...David Wallin
