Minnesota Drug Crimes

In our state, a drug crime is considered any state or federal offense that involves controlled substances, including illegal narcotics or prescription drugs. These offenses include drug production, cultivation, distribution, importing/exporting, and trafficking, and they can result in felony or misdemeanor charges, depending on the severity of the crime and the type and amount of drug found at the scene.
