  Drug Crimes

  New York’s drug laws are codified in Article 220 of the Criminal Penal Law, which covers a wide variety of statutorily defined types of controlled substances. Marijuana is not considered a controlled substance and is treated separately in Criminal Penal Law Article 222. New York’s drug laws have seen significant reforms over the last few decades and, much like the federal statutes, are extremely complex. That is why it is so important to choose an experienced criminal defense attorney, one who is well-versed in both New York State and federal criminal drug laws, to advise you of your rights.
