Under The influence
Heath & Safety code section 11550 makes it a crime to be under the influence of a controlled substance. A “controlled substance” can be, but is not limited to, any of the following:
- Heroin
- Cocaine
- Crack Cocaine
- Ecstasy (MDMA)
- Methamphetamine
- Marijuana
- Cannabis
- Opium
- Hashish (and Hashish Oil)
- PCP
- Morphine
- Barbiturates
- LSD
- Steroids
- Mescaline
- Methadone
If you are charged with being under the influence of a controlled substance, you may be entitled to enter a program rather than being sentenced to serve time in jail (either PC 1000 or Prop 36) which upon completion would entitle you to earn a dismissal of the charge against you. You need experienced and knowledgeable defense lawyers who can discuss your options with you. Call WILL & WILL, LLP or fill out our online contact form for a free consultation.
