Under the laws of Ohio, it is a grave and considerable matter when someone is accused by the State of possessing, trafficking, distributing, or manufacturing illegal drugs. Most serious drug crimes are charged or indicted as felonies by the state, and a felony conviction for a drug charge generally leads to some sort of prison term if the person charged with the drug crime is found guilty as charged. Felony drug offenses also have the potential to result in forfeiture of money or property as an additional penalty if the person convicted of such an offense as charged. Even lesser drug crimes, however, no matter how insignificant the amount, can lead to a serious penalty, (possession of a small amount of marijuana can lead to serious consequences - such as a 6-month drivers license suspension).
