Ramifications of a Conviction of Drug Sale
By categorizing controlled substances into five different schedules, Alabama is able to determine the seriousness of the drugs involved in your alleged offense. The more dangerous the drugs, the harsher the potential conviction. Drug sales are especially serious because they involve multiple individuals and are always classified as felonies.
You could face additional penalties if the sale occurred:
- Near a school: a sale that occurs on or within three miles of a school campus can result in five years additional imprisonment
- Near public housing: a sale that occurs on or within three miles of public housing can result in five years additional imprisonment
The most common penalties for sale of a controlled substance are incarceration and fines. Such an offense is never considered a misdemeanor – a felony is the only possible conviction if you are found guilty for selling illegal substances.
