Drug-related offenses in Oklahoma

There are many types of offenses that would come under the umbrella of drug-related offenses. These may include sale, use, possession or dealing in prohibited substances.

Illegal possession means that a person knowingly and intentionally has possession of a drug without a valid prescription. The amount must be consistent with personal use. It is the most common drug charge.

Legally, illegal use alleges that a person has made recreative or unsanctioned use of a prohibited substance. This could mean that the person used the drug without a prescription from a doctor.

Trafficking is basically a possession charge on steroids. The amount of the drug possessed implies it is for distribution. Drug traffickers are often faced with lengthy jail sentences and large amounts of fines.

Other related transactions include illegal manufacture and packaging. When illegal manufacture of a drug is alleged, it anticipates the creation of a synthetic chemical substance without an appropriate permit or license.
