In California, it is illegal to distribute, intend to distribute or help distribute controlled substances or to bring them into the United States.

It is also illegal to transport or illegally import controlled substances. Common illegal controlled substances are methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD and marijuana.

Punishments can vary depending on the amount confiscated, area in which it was sold and whether or not minors were targeted clients.

Gail Campbell & Julia Jayne have handled hundreds of major and minor drug and narcotics cases, both as prosecutors and as defense attorneys. Their cases have ranged from simple possession of cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine to the sale of these narcotics.

Additionally, they have represented defendants charged in major federal wiretap and international drug conspiracy cases wherein the charges involve selling, distributing, possessing, or conspiring to distribute or possess various illegal drugs.

Their cases also included the defense of medical marijuana cases. Read the article.
