Drug abuse is the scourge of the next generation. Working with various community organizations and churches, the attorneys of Rudolph F.X. Migliore, P.C. have seen an epidemic rise in drug use, resulting in needless destruction of ives. Suffolk County alone suffers hundreds of fatal overdoses every year.

Don’t Be Put At Risk

Amateurs manufacture certain drugs, such as methamphetamine, in back-room labs and often mix the drugs with other chemicals. People who use these drugs trust their lives to an unknown individual with no scientific training and put their health and perhaps their life at risk.

The Penalties of Drug Use in New York

In New York, laws that pertain to possession of a controlled substance can be quite severe and result in a sentence in a state penitentiary. Possession of a controlled substance over a certain weight carries a legal presumption that it was possessed with the intent to sell. A conviction in such a case will carry enhanced incarceration even though an actual sale did not take place.
