Drug possession crimes make up a large percentage of all cases prosecuted in both federal and state courts across the country. In fact, according to US Department of Justice data, more people are charged with possession than trafficking or any other crime. For example, in the year 2008, of the 1.66 million drug charges filed in state courts nationwide, there were 1.57 million possession charges and only about 96,000 trafficking charges. In some states like Oregon and Louisiana however, trafficking is a more common charge as opposed to possession. You want a skilled Portland drug crimes attorney to help you.
