Idaho Drug Laws

There are several types of drug crimes the state recognizes:

The specific requirements to be charged with a drug crime often depend on the specific substance in question.

Can Violation of These Idaho Drug Possession Laws be a Felony?

For some substances, being convicted of having more than a set amount not only changes the specific charge, but changes it from a misdemeanor into a felony. The cutoff amount is different for each substance.

The type of substance can sometimes make even possession an instant felony. For example, having any amount of heroin in your possession or on your property is a felony. Meanwhile, according to the site of the Idaho Legislature, it takes a full pound of marijuana to be assumed to be involved in trafficking it, and therefore, charged with a felony.

Prescription fraud, in the usual sense, takes place when someone forges a prescription in order to illegally obtain drugs. However, doctors and pharmacists charged with this crime are usually being accused of improperly writing out or filling prescriptions rather than forging them.

Possible Penalties

As with other states, Idaho's drug crime penalties depend on several details. Someone caught with only a small amount of a minor substance, such as marijuana, may only face a fine and/or a short jail sentence. Meanwhile, someone convicted of simply possessing a small amount of a "hard drug" can be sentenced to many years in prison and fines over $10,000 for a first offense. Subsequent convictions can greatly increase both fines and jail times.

I don't think I have enough space here to fully detail how much I appreciate these guys! Here are a few highlights from my experience:Anytime I had a question and reached out to Lane, he responded immediately. I always knew what was happening throughout the process and I had the information I needed.The team provided very realistic expectations for the outcome of my case and I never felt like I was being under-represented. I believe they always had my best intentions in mind while working on my case and provided a sense of calm during a very stressful time which was a relief for me and my family.Their level of professionalism was very confidence inspiring and I am grateful that I choose them to represent me!

Tyler handled my case quickly and efficiently. He was the second attorney I hired. The first attorney made me weary. As soon as I spoke with Tyler I felt better. Two weeks later all of my problems were gone and I can’t thank him enough. The weight lifted off my shoulders allowed a breath I hadn’t had in months. Thank you again Tyler, I really, really appreciate you.

Wow - I was in a tight spot on a Friday night feeling very anxious about a very legitimate sounding scam, one in which would caused great harm to me and my family and I was visibly shaken. Lane, quickly calmed me down and assured me I was going to be ok. Thanks much

I was experiencing some serious charges, my LDA wasn't really helping my case. I reached out at about 4:30 on a Sunday they got back to me within the hour. Lane told me how long the court process would take and always helped keep me calm when my mind would race. He told me the results Mark would get me and Mark did exactly that. If I ever have any legal problems they will definitely be the first ones I call. Id recommend them if you want a lawyer who’s worth the money and service!
