Possession or distribution of ecstasy is a felony offense in Colorado, and can carry some extremely severe penalties, including fines and prison time, among others. There are also certain factors that can make you a "special offender" in the eyes of the law, which can greatly increase the potential penalties by both increasing the range of prison time you face, and mandating a prison sentence instead of a probation sentence. Some of these factors include the quantity of drugs in your possession, possession of a gun while committing a drug crime, and selling or distributing drugs near a school. Any felony conviction can have a serious impact on your future and may hurt your chances to find housing, obtain employment, get into your preferred school or obtain certain professional licenses. If you are accused of distributing more than 25 grams (one ounce) of ecstasy, you will be facing mandatory prison if convicted as charged.
The Colorado ecstasy possession attorneys at Jurdem, LLC, have substantial experience representing people accused of ecstasy-related crimes. We closely examine every aspect of your case to determine the best approach to obtaining a favorable outcome. We work diligently to find flaws in the prosecution's case. We seize any opportunity to have the charges against you reduced or dismissed. If a dismissal is out of reach we will pursue all other relief through both negotiation and litigation. This includes litigating the exclusion of evidence at pre-trial hearings, asserting impactful defenses at trial, or pursuing a beneficial plea bargain should that be the outcome you are looking for in your case.
Strong Defense Against MDMA Distribution and Possession Charges
If you are found in possession of up to four grams of ecstasy, you can be charged with a class six felony. If the weight exceeds four grams you can be charged with a class four felony. A conviction for a class six felony is punishable by prison time of up to 12-18 months and a mandatory surcharge of $1,250, among other penalties. Class four felonies are punishable by prison of two to six years, and a mandatory drug offender surcharge of $2,000. Possession of larger quantities can result in charges for more severe crimes with more severe penalties, especially if you are found with an amount of ecstasy that the prosecution considers indicative of distribution instead of just personal use. As far as the amount you can be charged with, the weight of the entire substance found is deemed to be the "chargeable weight," no matter how much actual MDMA is in the ecstasy. With so much on the line, it is critical that you have the best defense representation available.
