Boston Drug Offenses

Due to the frequency with which drug crimes occur in the state of Massachusetts, the government goes to great lengths to investigate drug crimes and track down drug offenders within the state. There are entire task forces that are devoted exclusively to dealing with drug crimes and bringing violators of state and federal drug laws to justice. Due to the high occurrence of drug crimes within the state, investigators, prosecutors and judges take these offenses very seriously in an effort to fix drug problems facing communities within the state. The penalties resulting from drug crime convictions in Boston are known for being particularly harsh and sentences can include such things as jail or prison, fines, probation, drug rehabilitation and counseling, and community service. Drug offenders also obtain criminal records which can have a profoundly negative effect on their ability to find employment, to obtain loans, and to buy homes later in the future.

Drug Trafficking

The term "drug trafficking" is essentially an umbrella term that nearly all drug crimes fall under. Trafficking simply means the movement of illegal narcotics or prescription drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, methamphetamine, or even prescription medication such as Vicodin. The moment an illegal narcotic moves from one place to another, even from one house to another in the same neighborhood, a person can be charged with this offense. Unfortunately, in some cases, a person may be unaware that the drugs are in their possession, such as in the event that another person placed drugs in someone else's backpack. While a person who is caught with these drugs may simply be charged with drug possession, their entire future is at stake – many employers refuse to employ an individual who has a record or history of drug use, possession or abuse.
