Colorado State Drug Cases

In Colorado, it is illegal to willfully possess an illegal controlled substance like marijuana, cocaine, LSD, heroin and Ecstasy. In addition, it is illegal to possess "precursor" chemicals used in cultivating and manufacturing illegal controlled substances as well as possessing specific accessories related to drug use. Punishments vary according to drug type, amount and geographic area of the offense. Possession of large amounts of illegal controlled substances may be charged as "possession with intent to distribute."

Drug laws often involve highly complex search and seizure issues. Search and seizure is covered under the 4th amendment of the United States constitution. Search and seizure laws are in perpetual fluctuation. There are many requirements that law enforcement must abide by in order for a search and seizure to be considered legal and admissible in a court of law.
