Marijuana

Some of the most common marijuana-related offenses include:

  • Possession of marijuana: This is the charge you receive for simply having marijuana on your person or in your home.
  • Possession of marijuana with intent to deliver: This offense is charged when the quantity of marijuana you possess, coupled with surrounding circumstances, exceeds a certain amount.
  • Tax stamp violations: If you possess marijuana in excess of 41.5 grams, the state will add the charge of class D felony failure to affix an Iowa state drug tax stamp.

Other Drug Charges

There are many non-marijuana related drug offenses, involving drugs like:

  • Cocaine
  • Methamphetamines

Prescription drug violations can include fraudulent prescriptions and misuse of drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, Xanax, Benzedrine and others.
