Each of these substances may lead to different charges, ranging from possession to trafficking, with penalties varying depending on the quantity and specific circumstances of the case.
In Georgia, whether a drug arrest is charged as a misdemeanor or a felony depends on two key factors:
Larger quantities of drugs are more likely to result in felony charges, as they may indicate intent to distribute or trafficking.
Certain drugs, such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin, almost always result in felony charges, while smaller amounts of marijuana might be charged as a misdemeanor, depending on the situation.
The specific circumstances of the arrest, including prior offenses, location, and involvement of minors, can also influence the charge.
In Georgia, sentencing penalties for drug convictions vary significantly between misdemeanors and felonies:
Misdemeanor Drug Convictions
Felony Drug Convictions
Prior convictions, the presence of minors, and other aggravating factors can also increase the severity of the penalties.

In Georgia, it is possible to be charged with a drug crime even if drugs were not found directly on your person, in your vehicle, or home.
However, proving such a charge becomes more challenging for the prosecution as the state would have to rely on other forms of evidence, such as witness testimony, surveillance footage, or statements made by the accused that could link them to drug-related activity.
In these cases, the prosecution may attempt to establish constructive possession, where the accused had knowledge of and control over the drugs, even if they were not in physical possession.
It is most certainly possible to win your case, especially with a skilled attorney. In Georgia, there are several potential defenses to drug-related charges:
Mistaken Identity
Mistaken Or Mislabeling Of The Substance
Crime Lab Errors
Police Errors
Invalid Search Warrants
These are just a few examples, and an experienced attorney can explore numerous other defenses depending on the specifics of your case.
